Chapter 3
At least once in your life, your going to do or say something that your going to regret right away.
You try your hardest just to make it go away, but sometimes it doesn't.
Enjolras felt this when there was a meeting of revolution in the cafe.
It was a windy day.
All of the men crowded in, ready to speak, but Grantiere did not show because he had influenza, or maybe it was just love sickness. They needed to discuss the situation at stake: An upcoming revolution.
Enjolras was leading the gathering and wanted to have a say in how this would go down.
"We shall have the women and children locked in their houses and thus we will construct a barricade to keep out the enemy and shoot from the other side." He spoke clearly out to the other men.
But Courfeyroc was outraged.
"We can't just lock the women and children in their households! That's even more dangerous! Some women might want to help too! What does everyone else think about that?!"
Everyone clapped in response.
Someone else shouted "Yeah, Enjolras, what about your darling Eponine! What if she wanted to be apart of the barricade! Don't you love her?"
Enjolras didn't know what to do.
He was stunned
"We can't risk the lives of women and children.
And I don't love Eponine!" He shouted loudly above the roar of voices.
Immediately he regretted what he said, for although it was true, he knew it wasn't the right thing to do.
Again, please review. I would like to know how I'm doing, things to change, etc.
