#Theodule probably no. Theodule doesn't even know he's an orange cat

OK there's definitely other things to discuss in this chapter but I gotta highlight this bit:
Courfeyrac said to Bahorel:— “Would you believe it? Marius comes home nowadays at one o’clock in the morning.” Bahorel replied:— “What do you expect? There’s always a petard in a seminary fellow.”
especially because it's a bit where some translations I otherwise love and cherish Fail Me Utterly
Because yes on the one level it's a pretty standard "it's always the quiet ones" kind of comment
but also: Bahorel is straight up saying Marius is an explosive/carrying an explosive
you know. Like a powder keg, say
this is how Marius is going to show up at the barricade
Bahorel Knows The Future
(also I very much love that everyone really DOES sit around gossiping about Marius' love life, if only because Courfeyrac won't shut up about it XD)
