Fantine’s Arrest

A moment of your time, Javert

I do believe this woman's tale

Monsieur Le Maire!

You've done your duty, let her be

She needs a doctor, not a jail

Monsieur Le Maire!

Can this be?

Where will she end

This child without a friend?

I've seen your face before

Show me some way to help you

How have you come to grief

In such a place as this?

Monsieur, don't mock me now, I pray

It's hard enough, I've lost my pride

You let your foreman send me away

Yes, you were there, and turned aside

I never did no wrong

Is it true, what I've done?

My daughter's close to dying

To an innocent soul?

If there's a God above

Had I only known then...

He'd let me die instead

In His name my task has just begun

I will take her to the hospital!

Monsieur Le Maire!

Where is your child?

With an innkeeper, Montfermeil

I will send for her immediately

I will see it done!
