    Summary

    That night on the parapet, Valjean forces Javert to live. Some time later, Javert finds himself returning the favor. 

    "Do you think," Javert said slowly, in a tone that perhaps meant to mock but trembled with another emotion entirely, "that once you have saved a life, you must also save that man's soul?"

    "I know nothing of saving souls," Valjean said. "My soul was bought for God, not saved. But it is my belief that you are better than the fate to which you have consigned yourself."

    Summary

    “Let it be me who goes, at least. I will not allow him to slip through my fingers again.”
    “You!” the mayor laughed. “He knows you, does he not? He would recognize you at once.”
    “Convicts such as him see only the uniform – he will never recognize the man.”

    In which Javert goes undercover at number 50-52, desperately attempts to remain on the right side of the fine line between love and hate, and is wrong about nearly everything nearly all of the time.

    Summary

    “It is our belief that if the soul were visible to the eye every member of the human species would be seen to correspond to some species of the animal world and a truth scarcely perceived by thinkers would be readily confirmed, namely, that from the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of the exists in some man, sometimes several at a time."
