It is at this point that Courfeyrac arrives back with the group.

'Combeferre, over here! Hullo Joly and Lesgle - you too? Ah well, I suppose it will not inconvenience you overmuch. No sign of a key yet, I came back to refresh myself.'

He picks up a glass of wine - which probably belongs to someone else, but never mind - and drains it.

'Keep your spirits up, Enjolras! At least half an hour of this ordeal is over already, think of it that way. Oh I say, is that supposed to be you, Bahorel? You look like a robot.'

He is pleased with knowing what a robot is, but mostly just laughing over Jehan's shoulder at the picture.
