(::CONSTABLE ONE::)
Tell his reverence your story
(::CONSTABLE TWO::)
Let us see if he's impressed
(::CONSTABLE ONE::)
You were lodging here last night
(::CONSTABLE TWO::)
You were the honest Bishop's guest.
(::CONSTABLE ONE::)
And then, out of Christian goodness
(::CONSTABLE TWO::)
When he learned about your plight
(::CONSTABLE ONE::)
You maintain he made a present of this silver.
(::BISHOP::)
That is right.
But my friend you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind
(::The bishop gives Valjean two silver candlesticks::)
You forgot I gave these also
Would you leave the best behind?
So, Messieurs, you may release him
For this man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
And God's blessing go with you.
