and plunged determinedly into the nauseous rout. For five minutes
the resultant din and chaos were beyond description. Wild blows
were struck, shots were fired, and escapes were made; but in the
end Legrasse was able to count some forty-seven sullen prisoners,
whom he forced to dress in haste and fall into line between two
rows of policemen. Five of the worshippers lay dead, and two severely

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Les Miserables by Victor Hugo: face to face. The white angel and the black angel are about to seize

the other over? Who will carry the day?"
On the evening preceding this same 5th of June, Jean Valjean,
accompanied by Cosette and Toussaint had installed himself in the Rue
de l'Homme Arme. A change awaited him there.
Cosette had not quitted the Rue Plumet without making an effort
at resistance. For the first time since they had lived side by side,
Cosette's will and the will of Jean Valjean had proved to be distinct,
and had been in opposition, at least, if they had not clashed.
There had been objections on one side and inflexibility on the other.
