[
Valjean and Young Cosette arrive at the now empty inn, hand in hand.]
Valjean I found her wandering in the wood This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows And I am here to help Cosette And I will settle any debt you may think proper I will pay what I must pay To take Cosette away. There is a duty I must heed, There is a promise I have made For I was blind to one in need I did not see what stood before me Now her mother is with God Fantine's suffering is over And I speak here with her voice And I stand here in her place And from this day and evermore
Mme. Thenardier Let me have your coat, M'sieur
Valjean Cosette shall live in my protection
Thenardier You are very welcome here
Valjean I shall not forsake my vow
Thenardier Take a glass
Mme. Thenardier Take a chair
Valjean Cosette shall have a father now!
