    Summary

    Valjean meant to toss the rose he carried into the rushing waters below but he could not—his fingers would not part with it, no matter how many times he moved to let it go. There was a metaphor in that, he thought, but he was not yet ready to examine it closely.

    The sensation of Javert’s presence wrapped around Valjean like the wind as he walked—it did not cradle nor comfort but chilled him through and through, like the cold metal of a shackle clasped around his ankle, trailing a heavy chain. He had long imagined the man’s gaze on him even when it was not, but perhaps now it would follow him forever, no longer bound by the restrictions of flesh and blood.

    Summary

    Just a few days ago, Jean Valjean had wanted to flee France. Just a few days ago, he couldn’t sleep out of fear that Javert would find and arrest him, and Cosette would learn everything. The thought of that was unbearable. To see her love change into hatred and disgust would kill him. It would kill him . . . and he was bringing Javert home.
