Jill: Who is Lestiboudois?
Tim: The village handyman.
Chris: What an interesting perspective. I've never heard anyone discuss Madame Bovary from the point of view of the handyman!
Jill: That's because he has absolutely no relevance to the story.
Tim: Au contraire. He was the one that set up all the chairs for the fair.
Sharon: I kind of see what you're saying. If Lestiboudois hadn't set up the chairs, Madame Bovary would not have been able to sit next to Rodolphe.
Tim: My point exactly.
