Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
Speaker:
00:02:40
chapter eleven, number
Speaker:
00:02:42
9430 reappears
Speaker:
00:02:45
and Cosette wins it in the lottery.
Speaker:
00:02:49
Jean Valjean was not dead
Speaker:
00:02:51
when he fell into the sea, or rather, when
Speaker:
00:02:54
he threw himself into it. He was not ironed,
Speaker:
00:02:57
as we have seen. He swam underwater until he
Speaker:
00:03:00
reached a vessel at anchor to which a boat was
Speaker:
00:03:03
moored. He found means of hiding himself in this
Speaker:
00:03:06
boat until night. At night he swam off
Speaker:
00:03:08
again and reached the shore a little way from Cape Brunn.
Speaker:
00:03:11
There, as he did not lack money, he procured
Speaker:
00:03:14
clothing. A small country house in the
Speaker:
00:03:17
neighborhood of Belaguerre had at that time the dressing room of
Speaker:
00:03:20
escaped convicts. Lucrative
Speaker:
00:03:22
specialty. Then Jean Valjean,
Speaker:
00:03:25
like all the Surrey fugitives who were seeking to evade the vigilance
Speaker:
00:03:28
of the law and social fatality, pursued an
Speaker:
00:03:31
obscure and undulating itinerary. He
Speaker:
00:03:34
found his first refuge at Pradeau, near
Speaker:
00:03:36
Busuit. Then he directed his course towards Grand
Speaker:
00:03:39
Villard, near Briancon, in the hottest
Speaker:
00:03:42
alps. It was a fumbling and uneasy
Speaker:
00:03:45
flight, a mole's track whose branchings are
Speaker:
00:03:48
untraceable. Later on, some trace
Speaker:
00:03:51
of his passage into Aisne in the territory of Civaro was
Speaker:
00:03:53
discovered in the Pyrenees, at Akons, in the
Speaker:
00:03:56
spot called Grange de Domec, near the market of
Speaker:
00:03:59
Chevailes, and in the environs of Peregrine, at
Speaker:
00:04:02
Brunis, canton of La Chapelle
Speaker:
00:04:04
Gonnette, he reached Paris. We
Speaker:
00:04:07
have just seen him at Montfermeil.
Speaker:
00:04:10
His first care on arriving in Paris had been to buy
Speaker:
00:04:13
morning clothes for the little girl from seven to eight years of
Speaker:
00:04:16
age, then procure lodging.
Speaker:
00:04:19
That done, he had betaken himself to Montfermeier.
Speaker:
00:04:23
It will be remembered that already during his preceding
Speaker:
00:04:26
escape, he had made a mysterious trip thither
Speaker:
00:04:28
Orlando. Somewhere in that neighborhood of, which the
Speaker:
00:04:31
law had gathered an inkling, however, he
Speaker:
00:04:34
was thought to be dead. And this still further
Speaker:
00:04:36
increased the obscurity which had gathered about him
Speaker:
00:04:40
at, ah, Paris. One of the journals which chronicled the fact
Speaker:
00:04:43
fell into his hands. He felt
Speaker:
00:04:45
reassured and almost at peace, as though he
Speaker:
00:04:48
had really been dead. On the
Speaker:
00:04:51
evening of the day when Jean Valjean rescued Cosette from the
Speaker:
00:04:54
claws of the thenardiers, he returned to Paris.
Speaker:
00:04:57
He re entered it at nightfall with the child
Speaker:
00:05:00
by way of the barrier Monceau. There he
Speaker:
00:05:03
entered a cabriolet which took him to the
Speaker:
00:05:05
esplanade of the observator. There he
Speaker:
00:05:08
got out, paid the coachman, took
Speaker:
00:05:11
Cosette by the hand, and together they directed their steps through
Speaker:
00:05:14
the darkness, through the deserted
Speaker:
00:05:17
streets which adjoin the urschrin and the glacier
Speaker:
00:05:20
towards the boulevard de la Hapilot.
Speaker:
00:05:22
The day had been strange and filled with emotions for
Speaker:
00:05:25
Cosette. They had eaten some bread and
Speaker:
00:05:28
cheese purchased in isolated taverns behind
Speaker:
00:05:31
hedges. They had changed carriages
Speaker:
00:05:33
frequently. They had traveled short distances
Speaker:
00:05:36
on foot. She made no complaint. But she
Speaker:
00:05:39
was weary, and Jean Valjean.
Speaker:
00:05:41
>> Brie Carlisle: Perceived it by the way she dragged.
Speaker:
00:05:43
>> Brie Carlisle: More and more on his hand as she walked.
Speaker:
00:05:46
He took her on his back. Cosette, without letting
Speaker:
00:05:49
go of Catherine, laid her head on Jean Valjean's shoulder, and
Speaker:
00:05:52
there fell asleep.
Speaker:
00:05:54
