[Facts] Re: Eponine
Thank you very much for that information! Now all we need to know is if there were any silly romance novel characters in now-forgotten French books of the period named Eponine, or if Hugo just made up the name to spoof those books. (I would tend to think the latter is more likely.)

I'm looking for the name... Ducray Dumenil does exist, by the way, although he's now totally forgotten.
