Hi- er- Hello! I think you’re really pretty—Sorry! I should introduce myself…
Marius Pontmercy, aspiring lawyer and sort of affiliated with Les Amis.. Mainly because Courfeyrac enjoys dragging me along, but.. It’s the thought that counts!
What about you? How are you?- Oh and who are you?- Sorry that sounded mean..
Marius Pontmercy? What a beautiful name! And you’re a lawyer- sorry, aspiring lawyer? That’s lovely! And very impressive.
Oh, where are my manners? My name is Cosette. Cosette Fauchelevent. It’s very nice to meet you. I’m doing… alright. Oh, but back to you- the Les Amis? I was hoping to meet them soon! This is very fortunate timing indeed, isn’t it? Maybe perhaps you could introduce me to the rest of them after I’ve gotten to know you a bit better!
…Or- is that too sudden? Ah, sorry! I know we’ve just met, and I’m already getting ahead of myself… Apologies. I get too excited…
