"I don't know either. She married Marius afterwards, so she has to know a little, but..." A shrug.
But maybe only a little. Bahorel and Combeferre both feel strongly that she needs to be told about Hugo's book, by her father or otherwise. But illegal activity that the men of her family are suspected of, or genuinely guilty of, that's something else -- and ignorance is a protection for everyone, often.
(The narration, as always, would like to apologize for the 19th century. Enjolras has shed some habits of thought, but others remain. And anyway, there were plenty of them who kept secrets from both the men and the women of their families, for safety's sake.)
"She might bring him a letter, if it seemed warranted, I suppose."
