Thread a Title: Choose one of the ridiculously long (or simply ridiculous) typical 19th-century-style chapter titles below as a prompt for a thread! Use the title for your title (or... part of it if it doesn't fit?), and interpret the prompt however you like. As usual, threads must be at least 10 posts long with 3+ of those posts being your own.

(All titles come from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, because of course they do.)
