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 have 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???!
I will sent her immediatly
I will see it done!
