• Maintenant, pour se faire une idée de la scène qui va suivre, que le lecteur se figure dans son esprit la nuit glacée, les solitudes de la Salpêtrière couvertes de neige, et blanches au clair de lune comme d'immenses linceuls, la clarté de veilleuse des réverbères rougissant çà et là ces boulevards tragiques et les longues rangées des ormes noirs, pas un passant peut-être à un quart de lieue à la ronde, la masure Gorbeau à son plus haut point de silence, d'horreur et de nuit, dans cette masure, au milieu de ces solitudes, au milieu de cette ombre, le vaste galetas Jondrette éclairé d'une chandelle, et dans ce bouge deux hommes assis à une table, M. Leblanc tranquille, Jondrette souriant et effroyable, la Jondrette, la mère louve, dans un coin, et, derrière la cloison, Marius invisible, debout, ne perdant pas une parole, ne perdant pas un mouvement, l'oeil au guet, le pistolet au poing.

  Now, in order to form an idea of the scene which is to follow, let the reader picture to himself in his own mind, a cold night, the solitudes of the Salpêtrière covered with snow and white as winding-sheets in the moonlight, the taper-like lights of the street lanterns which shone redly here and there along those tragic boulevards, and the long rows of black elms, not a passer-by for perhaps a quarter of a league around, the Gorbeau hovel, at its highest pitch of silence, of horror, and of darkness; in that building, in the midst of those solitudes, in the midst of that darkness, the vast Jondrette garret lighted by a single candle, and in that den two men seated at a table, M. Leblanc tranquil, Jondrette smiling and alarming, the Jondrette woman, the female wolf, in one corner, and, behind the partition, Marius, invisible, erect, not losing a word, not missing a single movement, his eye on the watch, and pistol in hand.
