2.6.7 Chapter Discussion (Spoilers up to 2.6.7)

Discussion prompts:
- So many names in this chapter! The nickname of each Mother is a reference to either a saint or a virtue, each explained in this comment from last year's discussion, thanks to u/1Eliza. The real names specified for some Mothers have relevance in Hugo's life, which I'll add in the comments along with the other footnotes.
- A friendly reminder that the story currently takes place in 1824. Valjean took Cosette from the Thénardiers in Christmas 1823, and spent a while at the Gorbeau House. This means that Mother Innocent is the Prioress of Petit Picpus at this point in the story. This is probably why Hugo is explaining in detail the different people in the convent.
- Other points of discussion? Lines that stood out to you?
Final line:
Such was this curious house.
