Feuilly shrugs at Bahorel's question about church-building motives. "Religious piety is as good an explanation as any. I--the reasons I can think of, why I might do work like that, might not have anything to do with Fauchelevent. You could say that I'm helping Javert with his church--well, you'd have to stretch a point, but I've copied some pages for that manuscript Bible." And that's turned out complicated enough.
He pushes a hand through his hair. "Hm, well, we've never met anyone careless of his own interests before, have we. --I'd like to meet him. It seems wrong, though, reading about someone and--and mixing that with meeting them-- Oh, I don't know, I guess it's no different from reading something someone has written, or reading about someone in a newspaper-- But no, it's not the same. I haven't--oh, for instance, I haven't read that Shakespeare play. The one with, you know, with Harry Percy."
His ears are pink, which annoys him, because he isn't even talking about Harry right now, he's talking about something else. "And I haven't really felt like I needed to read that Hugo novel. Do you think I should?"
