    Summary

    "What are you doing?"
    "You came back."
    "You said you'd wait."
    "I didn't think you'd come back."
    "I said I would, didn't I?"

    Valjean came back. He dropped Marius off at the hospital and then tracked down Javert, because he can recognize when another person is suffering. Every other character gets some semblance of a happy ending, just not Javert. So Valjean gives him the forgiveness he needs, and brings him home.

    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.

    Summary

    Javert’s observing of Valjean as the older man toiled in the garden had become an experience almost akin to reverie. This impossible man became something else as he knelt amidst the stalks and brambles of the rosebush. He walked among trees and flowers like a god among children. He was Demeter, and summer followed in his footsteps.

    Summary

    Javert suffers a head injury during his capture at the barricades, leaving his behavior erratic and Valjean in the uncomfortable position of having to ensure the safety of the one man he would most prefer to leave behind him.

    Javert buried his head in his hands, his broad shoulders trembling and strangely fragile.

    “You should have killed me,” he groaned. “You talk of mercy and yet you do not think! You have never thought! You do what you think are kindnesses without ever considering the consequences! Your mercy has killed me. I have nothing. I am nothing. You have torn the scales from my eyes, but they are too weak, too used to darkness! They cannot bear the light and I am blinded.”
