Comments

[jondrette]

Old man, be silent- nothing you have said is worse than anything I have already heard. If you seek to insult me, embarrass me, it will not work.

[She kept her eyes on Cosette.]

Cosette, I followed your Marius to the barricade. I took the bullet meant for him. And still you go with this cruel man?

[littlelark]

My father is not cruel.

[Despite her indecision, on this point she's firm, looking Eponine straight in the eyes.]

I appreciate your sacrifice, but you cannot truly ask me to abandon my father once he has finally returned to me. He is the only family I have; what would you do, if someone asked you to abandon Gavroche?

[She still stands between them, not moving either way, with Valjean's somewhat insistent tugging ceasing temporarily.]

[jondrette]

[Eponine meets her eyes and does not back down.]

Gavroche had left my family before. He is far more capable on his own than he was with us.

Come with me. Or remain here and die. I do not care.
