THENARDIER   What to do? What to say?   Shall you carry our treasure away?   What a gem! What a pearl!   Beyond rubies is our little girl!   How can we speak of debt?   Let's not haggle for darling Cosette!      Dear Fantine, gone to rest...   Have we done for her child what is best?   Shared our bread. Shared each bone.   Treated her like she's one of our own!   Like our own, Monsieur!      VALJEAN   Your feelings do you credit, sir   And I will ease the parting blow   He pays them.   Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed   Now, may I say, we are agreed?      MME. THENARDIER   That would quite fit the bill   If she hadn't so often been ill   Little dear, cost us dear   Medicines are expensive, M'sieur   Not that we begrudged a sou   It's no more than we Christians must do!      M. & MME. THENARDIER   One thing more, one small doubt   There are treacherous people about   No offense. Please reflect.   Your intentions may not be correct?      VALJEAN   No more words. Here's your price.   Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice.   Come, Cosette, say goodbye   Let us seek out some friendlier sky.   Thank you both for Cosette   It won't take you too long to forget.      (Valjean and Cosette leave the inn)      Come, Cosette, come, my dear   From now on I will always be here   Where I go, you will be.      YOUNG COSETTE   Will there be children and castles to see?      VALJEAN   Yes, Cosette, yes, it's true.   There's a castle just waiting for you.      VALJEAN & YOUNG COSETTE   La la la la la...
