M. Myriel had to undergo the fate of every newcomer in a little town, where there are many mouths which talk, and very few heads which think. He was obliged to undergo it although he was a bishop, and because he was a bishop. But after all, the rumors with which his name was connected were rumors only,-noise, sayings, words; less than words- palabres, as the energetic language of the South expresses it."
( Victor Hugo )
[ Les Misérables ]
