THENARDIER WALTZ OF TREACHERY
THENARDIER
What to do? What to say?
Shall you carry our treasure away?
What a gem! What a pearl!
Beyond rubbies 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 your 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
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 offence. Please reflect.
You're intentions might not be - correct?
VALJEAN
No more words! Here's your price.
Fifteen hundred for your 'sacrifice!'
Come, Cosette, say goodbye
Let us seek out a friendlier sky.
Thank you both for Cosette
It won't take you too long to forget!
