The Bargain / The Waltz of Treachery

I found her wandering in the wood This little child I found her trembling in the shadows And I am here to help Cosette and I will settle any debt you may think proper I will pay what I must pay to take Cosette away There is a duty I must heed There is a promise I have made For I was blind to one in need I did not see what stood before me Now her mother is with God Fantine's suffering is over And I speak her with her voice And I stand here in her place And from this day and evermore Let me have your coat monsieur Cosette shall live in my protection You are very welcome here I will not forsake my vow Take a glass, take a chair Cosette shall have a father now What to do? What to say? Shall you carry our treasure away? What a gem What a pearl Beyond rubies 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 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? That would quite fit the bill If she hadn't so often been ill Little dear cost us dear Medicines are expensive monsieur Not that we begrudge a sou It's no more than we Christians must do One thing more One small doubt There are treachorous people about No offence, please reflect Your intentions may not be correct No more words Here's your price 1500 for your sacrifice Come Cosette, say good bye Let us seek out a friendlier sky Thank you both for Cosette It won't take you too long to forget Come Cosette, come my dear From now on I will always be here Where I go you will be Will there be castles and children to see Yes Cosette, yes it's true There's a castle just waiting for you
