LES MIS #11

Personally this is the most confusing chapter I have read so far but what I was able to understand was we go back a couple years and see the Bishop was a baron for an empire, he would attend private conferences and because of it would be interrogated by people. We see he hated luxury as it was considered bad unless it had to do with the church and we also get to see that he had two brothers. He was considered a humble, intelligent man by others and that made people like him a lot.

For example we see the silver utensils and candlesticks brought up as well as him leaving his house unlocked although we do not know if someone if for sure going to rob them, we can infer and assume that this is a big possibility of  happening
