"Raphael?" never heard of that one. It wasn't often Eponine went to church, and whilst she was there, it was to steal or deliver begging letters, so she rarely listened.

"...Well, so what if it was stealing? I don't care. I got a new dress from it."

A servant's dress as it happened; Hattie had tricked her. And Eponine hated stealing, but she was not going to let some man butt in - even if he was related to God - and tell her what to do. She's well aware that she's bad, but there's nothing she can do about it. She may as well get as much enjoyment from her bad ways as possible.
