Oh, a bath. What Eponine would give for a bath with pretty soaps and smells. Eponine has, of course, bathed in her destitution, but it's a whore's bath with a bit of rag in cleanish water from the well or the Seine, or if she is lucky, a gentleman's found her to be intolerably dirty and made her wash before their encounter.
"Oh, Miss. Please may I have a bath? With soap? I swear, I'll pay it back. I have - well, I have some trinkets you might like?" From her pickpocketing.
"I'm 'Ponine. Eponine Jondrette. From Paris. Do you really think I'll be pretty, Miss Nancy?"
