The tweets keep coming in the\u00a0Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em> Chapter-a-Day Read-along<\/a>.

"Now, can one come in contact incessantly night and day with all this distress, all these misfortunes, and this poverty, without having about one's own person a little of that misery, like the dust of labor?" #lesmisreadalong<\/a><\/p>\n
