In this chapter of Les Miserables, we learned that the Bishop is a very busy man and anytime that is not spent on the church or the community is spent on his garden and his writing. When the bishop went into town he hid the poor state of his cassocks under his purple cloak and helped the poor. Something about the bishop's purple cloak stood out to me though, purple was extremely expensive and usually reserved for royalty, so the bishop owning a purple coat when he was trying to help the poor seemed strange to me. Also, when it came to the bishop's writing, I was intrigued. What was the bishop thinking about when he went into meditation? Why did the bishop write small notes when he came out of meditation?
