Perhaps it's only fancy names for something that's more mundane really, and she's just not understanding properly. But that sounds very grand, and terribly sad, and almost incomprehensibly beyond her experience.
But -- but being reunited with his wife, there. That much, she can grasp; that, she knows what to do with.
"Why... Why, then, I'm very glad you will be reunited! It's awful that you've been apart so long, I praise God that you can be together. I confess it, my lord, I don't understand the rest. It all sounds so sad. So sad and so grand, and I'm only little Cosette. But I hope you're well, and that you'll travel in safety, and I'm very glad you'll be together with your wife."
That's not -- that's not in heaven, is it? She doesn't think so, but it's a little hard to tell, especially with so many emotions like a rushing river below the grave skim of his words.
