Re: Second Floor Stairwell; 3:00 AM
Oh, he thought very highly of himself, didn't he? When she had just found out things about him that were much worse than any circumstance of birth. "Je m'appelle Eponine, monsieur," she told him politely. "And I know of you, of course. Who has not heard of the great Inspector Javert?"
If her words were mocking, it was very well done, nearly unnoticeable. There was a stairway on either side of them, she could go up or down if she needed to escape. Down would be faster, of course, and then she could send the letter. But that would give him the high ground. Eponine debated it.
