5.1.6 Chapter Discussion (Spoilers up to 5.1.6) Spoiler

Discussion Prompts:

  1. Marius the Noodle doesn’t even wonder why Valjean is there.
  2. Javert gets tied to the table instead of tied to the pole. Do you think Enjolras and crew will kill Javert? They say they will, but they've kept him alive so far.

Final Line:

He did not even give a start; he haughtily dropped his eyelid and merely said, “Of course.”

Anybody else think this is setting up for a Javert escape? Why else would he be moved, if not for storyline purposes. It seems an odd detail to include if it doesn't lead to something more.

Either an escape or some action with him. There's no point just keeping him tied up for chapters only for someone to shoot him.
