I. The Bishop of Digne
In the year 1815, the bishop of the small town of Digne, in the south of France, was an old man called Charles Myriel. The poor people of the town called him Monseigneur Bienvenu, which means “Welcome”, because his door was never locked and anyone could come in. He lived in a small house with his sister, Mademoiselle Baptistine, and an old servant, Madame Magloire. The town had given him a large and beautiful palace, but he had given it to the hospital and moved into the hospital’s little house himself. He gave nearly all his money to the poor. He kept only a few things from his old life: six sets of silver forks and spoons, a big silver ladle for soup, and two silver candlesticks.
One evening at the beginning of October, a man walked into Digne just before sunset.
