Manticores...?! Eponine, please, let go, you're frightening me!
[Cosette knows such things do not exist, not really, but the mere mention of them troubles her deeply. Eponine seems very out of sorts, and she has never truly seen her so terrified; the mood is infectuous.]
Stop this nonsense as once! [Valjean's voice, usually so soft and gentle with his daughter, is uncharacterestically raised as he grabs her shoulders, trying to move her back towards the lit-up doorway.] Cosette, no more of this; say goodbye and let us make our way back inside. Whatever threat these thugs present will pass soon enough. Leave this girl to her delirious fantasies, I will have no more of them.
