You saved Javert, why not have said so? I owed my life to you, why not have said so?" "Because I thought as you do. I thought that you were in the right. It was necessary that I should go away. If you had known about that affair, of the sewer, you would have made me remain near you. I was therefore forced to hold my peace. If I had spoken, it would have caused embarrassment in every way."
For Javert, the usual incidents of the public highway were categorically classed, which is the beginning of foresight and surveillance, and each contingency had its own compartment; all possible facts were arranged in drawers, as it were, whence they emerged on occasion, in variable quantities; in the street, uproar, revolt, carnival, and funeral. The porter contented himself with waking Basque.
"And this is the second: he did not assassinate Javert, because the person who killed Javert was Javert." "What do you mean to say?" "That Javert committed suicide." "Prove it! prove it!" cried Marius beside himself. Thenardier resumed, scanning his phrase after the manner of the ancient Alexandrine measure: "Police-agent-Ja-vert-was-found-drowned-un-der-a-boat-of-the-Pont-au-Change."
In the mists which enveloped his thoughts, he did not recognize Javert, who, bound to his post, had not so much as moved his head during the whole of the attack on the barricade, and who had gazed on the revolt seething around him with the resignation of a martyr and the majesty of a judge. Marius had not even seen him.
He no longer thought of Jean Valjean, the wolf of to-day causes these dogs who are always on the chase to forget the wolf of yesterday, when, in December, 1823, he read a newspaper, he who never read newspapers; but Javert, a monarchical man, had a desire to know the particulars of the triumphal entry of the "Prince Generalissimo" into Bayonne.
"Monsieur le President, in view of the confused but exceedingly clever denials of the prisoner, who would like to pass himself off as an idiot, but who will not succeed in so doing, we shall attend to that, we demand that it shall please you and that it shall please the court to summon once more into this place the convicts Brevet, Cochepaille, and Chenildieu, and Police-Inspector Javert, and question them for the last time as to the identity of the prisoner with the convict Jean Valjean."
The barricade has two saviors, Marius Pontmercy and yourself." "Do you think that I deserve a recompense?" "Certainly." "Well, I request one." "What is it?" "That I may blow that man's brains out." Javert raised his head, saw Jean Valjean, made an almost imperceptible movement, and said: "That is just."
"What a grenadier!" ejaculated Javert; "you've got a beard like a man, mother, but I have claws like a woman." And he continued to advance. The Thenardier, dishevelled and terrible, set her feet far apart, threw herself backwards, and hurled the paving-stone at Javert's head.
When each had gone to take up his position for the combat, there remained in the tap-room where Javert was bound to the post, only a single insurgent with a naked sword, watching over Javert, and himself, Mabeuf.
Monsieur le Baron, Jean Valjean did not rob M. Madeleine and Jean Valjean did not kill Javert." "This is too much! How is this?" "For two reasons." "What are they? Speak." "This is the first: he did not rob M. Madeleine, because it is Jean Valjean himself who was M. Madeleine." "What tale are you telling me?"
