    Summary

    It doesn’t look like a lamp, is the thing. It looks like a squat, ceramic teapot, and d’Artagnan’s mother collects teapots. She might very well like this one with its pretty ochre color and the little design painted around it. It might just be a wave or it might be letters and d’Artagnan can’t really tell with the dust on it so he swipes at it with his thumb a few times. He’s just trying to wipe the dust off, that’s all.

    Summary

    That night on the parapet, Valjean forces Javert to live. Some time later, Javert finds himself returning the favor. 

    "Do you think," Javert said slowly, in a tone that perhaps meant to mock but trembled with another emotion entirely, "that once you have saved a life, you must also save that man's soul?"

    "I know nothing of saving souls," Valjean said. "My soul was bought for God, not saved. But it is my belief that you are better than the fate to which you have consigned yourself."

    Summary

    Instead of committing suicide, Javert goes on a three-day bender. When Valjean finds him, Javert assumes he's a hallucination. Things proceed awkwardly from there.

    --

    “Where are you going?” the hallucination asked, which was foolish. Surely his brain knew what Javert planned. 

    “To the nearest--” Javert paused, looked at the recently vacated wine-ship, and amended what he had been about to say. “To the next wine-shop. Obviously I am not drunk enough if you are here.”

    The apparition got to its feet with a wince, as though his mind had ridiculously conjured aches and pains with which to torment Valjean’s specter. “Javert, your words make no sense,” it said, and Javert laughed again.

    “I am making perfect sense.” He touched his pocket where he kept his money, frowned. “I hope you are only a drink or two from going away. I do not know how much more beer I can afford.”
