The Bishop is a favorite character of mine as well (after all, he likes to mediate under the stars!). Ditto to jo's observation that in the overall canvas he's a minor character but sets the stage for everything that follows.

I found that Hugo's commentaries ran the gamut from fascinating (the Waterloo one was like being there) to dull (the sewers of Paris) but in hindsight I'm glad my first reading was the unabridged version.

Thanks for your comments on the live performance, jo. Glad you enjoyed it, at least in part.
