Chorus: Ring out the bells upon this day of days! May all the angels of the Lord above In jubilation sing their songs of praise! And crown this blessed time with peace and love. (The procession becomes a dancing celebration. A waltz is played.) Major Domo: The Baron and Baroness de Thenard wish to pay their respects to the groom! Thenardier: I forget where we met Was it not at the Chateau Lafarge Where the Duke did that puke Down the Duchess's de-coll-etage? Marius: No, `Baron de Thenard' The circles I move in are humbler by far. Go away, Thenardier! Do you think I don't know who you are? Mme. Thenardier: He's not fooled. Told you so. Show M'sieur what you've come here to show. Tell the boy what you know! Thenardier: Pity to disturb you at a feast like this But five hundred francs surely wouldn't come amiss. Marius: In God's name say what you have to say. Mme. Thenardier: But first you pay! Thenardier: What I saw, clear as light, Jean Valjean in the sewers that night. Had this corpse on his back Hanging there like a bloody great sack. I was there, never fear. Even found me this fine souvenir! (Thenardier shows Marius a ring.) Marius: I know this! This was mine! Surely this is some heavenly sign! Thenardier: One thing more, mark this well It was the night the barricades fell. Marius: Then it's true, then I'm right Jean Valjean was my savior that night! (Marius punches Thenardier and then throws money at him.) As for you, take this too! God forgive the things that we do. Come my love, come Cosette, This day's blessings are not over yet! (Marius and Cosette leave.)
