Mystery and Knowledge in Paris. Chapter 2 Laigle de Meaux and Joly are two good friends from among the group. On June 5th, they meet for breakfast at Corinthe with Grantaire, who quickly drinks half a bottle of wine. Grantaire was the Friends of the ABC member who was more interested in being friends with Enjolras than in pursuing political and social questions.
Grantaire is thus shown as simply spewing nonsense.

Grantaire begins his next bottle and starts another speech, but at that moment a small ragged boy enters and asks Laigle if he is Monsieur Bossuet his nickname. When the boy leaves, Grantaire begins to describe a list of categories of urban gamins, while Laigle muses that ABC must mean the burial of Lamarque.
The group stays at the tavern all day. Hugo portrays this phenomenon ambivalently. After midday, Grantaire moves on to other kinds of alcohol, and the others grow drunk as well. Bossuet shouts that they can make a barricade here in order to defend themselves from the National Guard as they continue to drum up support.

Courfeyrac signals to the crowd to stop. These two elements merge at the tavern, in a reminder of the interconnectedness of Parisian social and political life. Chapter 3 The street is narrow and well-adapted for a barricade. The crowd heaps up barrels and stones until they form a high rampart. The widow Hucheloup takes refuge on the second floor, and the serving-girl Mateloup tries to follow her.

Enjolras calls out to him angrily not to disgrace the barricade, to go drink somewhere else. Grantaire seems shocked and suddenly sober: Enjolras looks at him disdainfully, while Grantaire looks back tenderly and then falls asleep. This scene portrays a mixture of military-style plotting, cheerful preparation for a battle, and pure chaos.
Such a fight is probably doomed from the start anyway, because of the vast inequality in resources between the two camps. The crowd smashes the street lanterns and builds several other barricades. Gavroche is a kind of whirlwind, available everywhere at once, shouting orders and asking for a gun.
This seriousness of purpose coexists with a continued joviality. Chapter 5 The front of the barricade is made of an impenetrable block of paving stones, beams, and planks. There is an opening on one extremity, where a red flag fastened to the pole of the omnibus flies over the barricade.
Once this is finished, Courfeyrac puts a chest on a table outside the tavern, and begins distributing the cartridges inside it. The fighters load the guns, then lie in wait as twilight deepens, with a tragic, terrifying air about the neighborhood. Chapter 6 During these hours of waiting, the students recite love verses, one of which the narrator transcribes.

Meanwhile, a torch is lit in the large barricade, illuminating the scarlet of the flag. The narrator keeps his promise to record the idiosyncratic, personal touches within a broader historical and political narrative. Chapter 7 The long wait suggests that the government is collecting its forces.
When the man sits down, Gavroche springs to his feet and begins to tiptoe around him, suddenly giddy and gleeful. As Gavroche is about to go off, he indicates the man in the tavern, and says he is a police spy. Here, that means knowledge of who the policemen are, even when they try to disguise themselves.

The others tell him that the house is closed, so he says they should break it in. He races over, knocks, and then starts to batter the door with a gun. At that point, a tiny window opens on the third story, showing the terrified face of an old man—the porter—holding a candle. He says he cannot open the door, and repeats thus, not seeing Le Cabuc aiming his gun at him in the dark. Le Cabuc fires and immediately kills the man. The Bishop of D had debated this phenomenon with the dying member of the revolutionary Convention, and here the theme returns, as the narrator describes a purely gratuitous, meaningless crime committed by Le Cabuc.
