Now I want to read Les Mis too (I do love reading French classics, so different from the English), but it's such a door stopper. An intriguing sentence you provided. I do think you're right in your interpretation. And I think you'd need to be wearing a peruke to sit in a chair like that, modern folk with normal hair would look out of place.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/wondrous-words-wednesday-28312.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342623555220583614.post-43014378509185239822012-03-28T15:00:41.785-04:002012-03-28T15:00:41.785-04:00Yay!!!!

I'll be back though, of course. I think Hugh is fine - funny how un-cute he looks, as you mentioned. Russell Crowe is too hot to be Javert, I think. I picture Javert as Frank Burns from MASH - kind of a weasel!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864587350512328594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342623555220583614.post-80095239680127635922012-03-28T13:02:23.707-04:002012-03-28T13:02:23.707-04:00All the definitions I could find for peruke also c...All the definitions I could find for peruke also came down to wigs. However, there is a building called the Hotel Biron, built in the Roccoco manner, which was built for a peruker (wig maker). Perhaps that was the context it is being used in.

I've been debating it since I'm posting about the movie on my site but it's soooo long - did you see the pictures of Hugh Jackman as Valjean and Russell Crowe as Javert???
