Illustration of "Les Misérables", Part V "Jean Valjean", Book I "War within four walls", Chapter XV "Gavroche outside" corerspondant the following passage: "And with one bound he plunged into the street .We recall that the Fannicot company, retiring, had left behind a trail of cadavres.Une twenty lay dead here and there throughout the length of the street on the pavement. twenty cartridge-boxes for Gavroche, a provision cartridges for smoke barricade.La was in the street like a fog. Anyone who has seen a cloud fallen into a mountain gorge between two steep escarpments can imagine this smoke and constricted as thickened by two dark lines of tall houses . it rose slowly and renewed constantly, hence a gradual darkening even that paled full day This is hardly a across the street, though very short, the combatants perceived.. this obfuscation, probably desired and calculated by are leaders who should lead the assault of the barricade, was useful to Gavroche.Sous the folds of this veil of smoke, and thanks to its small size, he could advance far enough into the street without being seen. He robbed the first seven or eight cartridge-boxes without much danger.Il crawled flat belly, galloped on all fours, took his cart to the teeth, twisted, glided, undulated, wound a death to another, and emptied the pouch or the bandolier as a monkey opens a noix.De the barricade, which he was still close enough, we did not dare shout back, for fear of drawing attention to lui.Sur a corpse, who was a corporal, he found a pear poudre.- for the thirsty, he said, putting his poche.À strength to go forward, he reached the point where the fog of firing became transparent. "
