Chabouillet:

Gisquet: Ok so do you think this is from the blood loss, the overstrain, the sleep deprivation, or a combination of all three?

Just randomly leafing through Gisquet’s memoirs when I notice a chapter description mentioning a “riot of July 14th 1831“ and I was like “ooh, what’s that? I’ve never heard of this one“ and:

“For the 14th of July, the republican party had decided on the plantation of three trees of liberty in three different points in the city streets; and all the enemies of the government seemed to be preparing for a serious clash.“

Excuse me, why did nobody tell me about this radical tree-planting riot? that apparently happened???

Somebody please tell me more about this and also there has to be fanfiction of this, right? If not, there should be.

The Prefecture under Chief Inspector Gisquet:

The Prefecture after Chief Inspector Javert has taken over:

Quite apart from the fact that sartorially splendid Javert has decreed UNIFORMS FOR EVERYONE, no one’s allowed to lazily lounge around anymore, there are more desk for more work to be done, and of course there is ORDER on the desks as well.

(And the picture on the wall has changed, but that’s a question for a more historically minded person.)

Say what you want about Javert’s obsession, but it sure seems to be effective. Even if he’s clearly breaking Rivette’s heart.

PART 7 OF LE FLUFF SERIES

Soon after Javert’s recovery, someone (coughValjeancough) has informed M. Gisquet (the prefect of the Paris police force and Javert’s superior) of Javert’s situation. Subsequently, Gisquet sent a letter to Javert asking him to return to the Parisian police force. Although Javert tried to resign from his position as a police inspector (again) in person, Gisquet was having none of it.

On a side note, it seems that the Gisquet in Les Mis does correspond to Henri Joseph Gisquet, the prefect of the Paris police force in 1832 (see: www.sfhp.fr/index.php?post/200…). I based my version of Gisquet on the portrait at the abovementioned link, but made him younger and with floofier hair. The text in the speech bubbles is as follows:

JAVERT: … I have brought dishonour to my position, Monsieur Gisquet. Please accept my resignation.

GISQUET: NO. (I have already lost too many men at the barricades).
