But she has no more things.

We bought her a nice cloak

for her sixth birthday,

like you asked.

Send 20 francs at once,

along with the monthly board,

which I'm forced to raise to 10 francs.

So send 30 francs at once.

Your devoted servant, Thnardier."

That's it.

Did he really write,

"Your little Cosette

is happy and in well health"?

That's what he wrote.

So what's your answer?

Wait. Is this the sentence?

"Your little Cosette

is happy and in well health."

That's it.

"Your little Cosette

is happy and in well health."

Do you want to reply?

Yes, sir.

Write that I'm sending

20 francs at once,

but he'll have to wait a bit

for the other 10.

"Sir...

I am sending you

20 francs at once..."

"But I must ask you

to wait a bit

for the other 10."

No!

Out of the question!

If she thinks I'm going

to give her credit -

That's not our style

here in Montfermeil.

It's not hard for a good-looking girl

like her to find money.

If she wants us to keep her child,

she has to cough up!

Bring the writing desk.

Cosette!

Coming, ma'am!

Can't you answer

when we call you?

These jugs should have

been filled an hour ago.

And you didn't even sweep up,

you good-for-nothing!

Take the writing desk

to Mr. Thnardier.

You have to earn

your keep here.

How about it, Cosette?

Go on!

Wait.

Go ask Mrs. Thnardier

for the prescriptions

the doctor made out

for Eponine and Azelma.

- Prescriptions, sir?

- Don't you understand French?

The prescriptions

you took to the druggist.

Sure.

You know, when me and Azelma

had the measles.

Oh, yes.

"Cosette has caught the measles

that have been going around.

She needs expensive drugs.

I enclose the prescriptions.

Send 40 francs by next week.

Otherwise, we can't answer

for your child's health."

Is this why you're late?

Yes, ma'am.

I had to find the money.

Forty francs! They're mad!

Where will I find that much?

Whose child is it?

- Mine, ma'am.

- You're married?

I was to marry a young Parisian,

Mr. Tholomys. I loved him.

But he abandoned me

eight years ago when I was pregnant.

I had no money,

so I left my child in the care

of innkeepers in Montfermeil,

the Thnardiers.

Go to your bench.

I'll return your papers later.

Cherubinette

took all her letters.

At last!

We'll be able to breathe again.

Don't worry.

It won't be long now.

When Cherubinette

starts to clean house -

Careful, Pa Fauchelevent!

You're going to slip!

- The inspector's over there!

- Call him!

Here he comes.

I can't breathe!

Get a jack, quick.

Help me!

- We'll get you out!

- They've gone for a jack!

- No jack?

- They've gone for one, sir.

- It's not here yet?

- The blacksmith's 15 minutes away.

Victor Hugo

Victor Marie Hugo (French: [viktɔʁ maʁi yɡo] ( listen); 26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. Hugo is considered to be one of the greatest and best-known French writers. Outside of France, his most famous works are the novels Les Misérables, 1862, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris), 1831. In France, Hugo is known primarily for his poetry collections, such as Les Contemplations (The Contemplations) and La Légende des siècles (The Legend of the Ages). Hugo was at the forefront of the romantic literary movement with his play Cromwell and drama Hernani. Many of his works have inspired music, both during his lifetime and after his death, including the musicals Notre-Dame de Paris and Les Misérables. He produced more than 4,000 drawings in his lifetime, and campaigned for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment. Though a committed royalist when he was young, Hugo's views changed as the decades passed, and he became a passionate supporter of republicanism; his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and the artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the Panthéon in Paris. His legacy has been honoured in many ways, including his portrait being placed on French currency. more…
