Final answer:
The referenced characters, Madamoiselle Baptistine and Madame Magloire, suggest to the Bishop of Digne in Victor Hugo's novel to secure the silverware before Jean Valjean arrives, which he does not do.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to characters from Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables. Madamoiselle Baptistine and Madame Magloire are the sisters of the Bishop of Digne, not the Bishop of D---- mentioned in your references, which seem to pertain to characters from a different work. In Hugo's novel, before the arrival of Jean Valjean, the sisters express concern about their silverware. They suggest to the Bishop to hide or lock away the valuable silverware lest it might tempt the traveler into stealing. However, the Bishop of Digne is a very kind man who does not heed this warning, a decision that leads to an important turning point in the novel and in Valjean's life.
