The bargain
Les Misérables
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 will not forsake my vow
Thenardier
Take a glass
Mme. Thenardier
Take a chair
Valjean
Cosette shall have a father now!
