By chance, Marius passed through the Rue Jean-Jacques-Rousseau between Enjolras and Courfeyrac.
Courfeyrac took his arm.
"Pay attention. This is the Rue Plâtrière, called the Rue Jean-Jacques-Rousseau today, because of a strange household that inhabited it sixty years ago. It was Jean-Jacques and Thérèse. From time to time, little beings would be born there. Thérèse gave them birth, Jean-Jacques gave them to the orphanage."
And Enjolras bullied Courfeyrac. "Silence before Jean-Jacques! I admire that man. He disowned his children, true; but he adopted the people."
