See the connections around The Thénardiers → Monsieur and Madame Thénardier run the Montfermeil inn where the language of hospitality sits beside calculations of profit.

Madame Thénardier’s visible warmth toward her own children can suggest a trustworthy home to a stranger; her husband is quick to work out the financial possibilities of an encounter.
