Summary
"On one day of rioting, a young poet, named Paul-Aimé Garnier, was pursued in the Place Royale, with a bayonet at his loins, and only escaped by taking refuge under the porte-cochere of No. 6. They shouted:-"There's another of those Saint-Simonians!" and they wanted to kill him. Now, he had under his arm a volume of the memoirs of the Duc de Saint-Simon. A National Guard had read the words Saint-Simon on the book, and had shouted: 'Death!'" (Les Misérables 5.1.12)
Four months later, Victor Hugo moved into No. 6 Place Royale. An imagining of how he learned Garnier's story.
