Interesting to see what made it through the game of telephone of multiple adaptations— for one thing, the candle-based meet-cute of Roger and Mimi in RENTs (and, per Wikipedia, Rodolfo and Mimi in Puccini's opera) is actually from Murger's one stand-alone story about a different couple, who did not make it into either adaptation, rather than the original Rodolphe and Mimi?
I did not know that!
one character asking someone to "com{e} every morning to tell {him} the day of the week and month, the quarter of the moon, the weather it is going to be, and the form of government we are under" - because, yeah, that last part would be an open question in 1840s France!

Relatable.
