'Allow me,' he says to William, who might be young and healthy, but is not built for pulling a man the size of Valjean along.
'I cannot find the man, but he will be here somewhere. We will put him into bed to start with. My thanks for your help, Monsieur Evans. I will see you repaid.'
He is slightly concerned that Valjean will start babbling nonsense that might cause trouble later on, even if there is no need to conceal much now. But there is a difference between the girl knowing the truth, the husband concealing it, and the world being privy to the knowledge.
