“Not as much as I would have thought,” Combeferre confessed. “Perhaps if I had found a name I knew better, I would find myself more troubled…” But even as he said it, he wondered if that were true. Wouldn’t he love to hear of some happy future for Laigle or Bahorel, for Feuilly or Enjolras? Or would that only make their absence harder to bear?
Whatever the case, discovering Raspail’s name was a less significant matter, and perhaps that was what allowed Combeferre such uncomplicated pleasure. “Largely, I am glad to hear he accomplished so much, that he was able to continue work we had merely started.”
