say magnifique.


Found in the depths of my mothers treasure chest, this beauty has taken up most of my summer holiday time. Translating and loving it, my favourite scene is no doubt Scene V.

The jest of the scene: "Gringoire, pointing to his own pale, thin face, told the King how he had twice spoken words of love, and how he had been answered, once by a burst of laughter, and secondly by tears of pity."
I can relate.
