I have seen ‘em weeks before a hanging. The guards keep ‘em guessing. Will today be it? Mind, it weren’t as nice as here. If they hadn’t believed me, I might have asked...
[Eponine’s depressive thoughts are quite matter of fact, but her expression, the slight tremble to her hands as she brushes her tangled hair from her face, gives her away.]
But why us? I am many bad and wicked things, but none so bad as murder. But you don’t look so bad? There are people here more threatening than you or I.
