That Javert, who has been annoying me so long; that terrible instinct which seemed to have divined me, which had divined me good God! and which followed me everywhere; that frightful hunting-dog, always making a point at me, is thrown off the scent, engaged elsewhere, absolutely turned from the trail: henceforth he is satisfied; he will leave me in peace; he has his Jean Valjean.
