According to the introduction to the Fahnestock version of LM:
"[Hugo always] refused cuts [to his novel]. He finally permitted the excision of one chapter on prostitution and woman's lot which, as the author would smile to see, now appears in some French editions as an appendix."
Has anyone ever seen an edition of LM that included this chapter? Has it ever been translated into English, I wonder? If not, I imagine one could slap the whole thing into Babelfish and...voila!!! :)
