The Baron and Baroness du Thenard
[MARIUS]
Go away, Thenardier!
Do you think I don’t know who you are?
[Mme Thenardier]
He’s not fooled! Told you so!
Show Monsieur What you’ve come here to show.
Tell the boy what you know!
[Thenardier]
Pity to disturb you at a feast like this
But 500 francs surely wouldn’t come amiss.
[MARIUS]
In God’s name say what you have to say.
[Mme Thenardier]
He speaks. You pay!
[Thenardier]
What I saw, clear as light,
Jean Valjean in the sewers one night,
Had this corpse on his back
Some boy he’d killed in a vicious attack.
I was there, never fear!
I even found me this fine souvenir!
[MARIUS]
I know this! This was mine!
This is surely some heavenly sign!
Then it’s true! Then I’m right!
Jean Valjean was my saviour that night!
[Thenardier]
Jean Valjean the old con.
You pay up and I’ll say where he’s gone.
[MARIUS]
Where is he?
Where is he?
[Thenardier]
The convent!
