Line 1:
<noinclude>{{work}}</noinclude>==== CHAPTER II—M. Myriel becomes M. Welcome ====
The episcopal palace of D—— adjoins the hospital.
Line 53 ⟶ 51:
M. Myriel had no property, his family having been ruined by the Revolution. His sister was in receipt of a yearly income of five hundred francs, which sufficed for her personal wants at the vicarage. M. Myriel received from the State, in his quality of bishop, a salary of fifteen thousand francs. On the very day when he took up his abode in the hospital, M. Myriel settled on the disposition of this sum once for all, in the following manner. We transcribe here a note made by his own hand:—
<poem>NOTE ON THE REGULATION OF MY HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES.
For the little seminary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,500 livres

M. Myriel made no change in this arrangement during the entire period that he occupied the see of D—— As has been seen, he called it regulating his household expenses.
Line 103 ⟶ 101:
That same evening the Bishop wrote out and handed to his sister a memorandum conceived in the following terms:—
<poem>EXPENSES OF CARRIAGE AND CIRCUIT.

Such was M. Myriel’s budget.
