"' Your father. You must promise-Eponine, you must swear to me that you'll never tell him where it is.'
She was gazing at him in astonishment.
'Eponine! How did you know that was my name?'
'Will you promise me?'
She seemed not to hear. 'But it's nice. I'm glad you've called me Eponine.'"

This sounds really dumb, but I reread that part a couple of times and still haven't figured out how he knew her name was Eponine. I'm pretty sure she didn't tell him; is it mentioned in the section when Patron-Minette kidnapped Valjean? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Yes, it is:

Thenardier rapidly unfolded the paper and held it close to the candle.

"It's in Eponine's handwriting!"

Marius could hear everything they were saying, so he probably heard that and figured out (logically) that the girl who wrote that was named Eponine.

"Let others rise to take our place until the earth is free!"

The line between heroism and stupidity is hard to see.

Thenardier mentions it. "It's in Eponine's handwriting!" when Marius throws down the note she wrote.

--------------------

Fergus Lamus,
Attacked by a goose,
Insistently said he was fine.
But his breathing was tainted,
He finally fainted,
And dead he was by the night time.

By the way, I never understood what Eppy meant by when she wrote, "here are the slops". Did she mean "slobs"? -------------------- Who will wake them? No one ever will... Too soon, too young to die. Lamenting, we weep, cry: Too soon, too young to die. Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried... "But...what are you doing here?!" Woman Two exclaimed.

Nope, it's "Les cognes sont là," which in non-archaic English means "The cops are here."

God is behind everything, but everything hides God. Things are black, creatures are opaque. To love a being is to render that being transparent.
