"I don't think it's strange at all."

Feuilly's judgment is good, and always thoughtfully considered. Enjolras respects it enormously. Of course he's not infallible, any more than anyone else, but all the same, Feuilly's misgivings about something are always worth at least taking into account.

"You know them better than I. I haven't actually spoken with any of them. But from what I do know -- it would be stranger if you were entirely comfortable with what they do. Conquest, slaving, violence brought down on the citizens of other lands for terror and profit. They may live in a benighted society which has yet to progress beyond that, but you don't. They're here, they have a chance to learn too that they were wrong about things, but it's up to them to take it. If they don't, you can choose to take the patient approach if you think it'll do good, but that's a separate question. Is that what you're asking?"

He doesn't know Father Harman well either, and he wasn't there for whatever this conversation was. Perhaps he's misinterpreted.
