[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!
