You're right. Sorry I missed the Les Mis reference.
La Fleur de Lyse sells 18th French patterns, among other things. Perhaps the

Yes, that's more like it, but as I am doing this for my DH out of my
stash, I really don't want to spend money - I am mean like that - and
the diagram on the site Hanna posted will do for starters - I can
play with the shape from there. I have the book Suzanne Gousse etc.,
