Summary
Valjean frowns at him, as if Javert is being blasphemous, but Javert is unfazed; he knows Valjean knows it's true. Eventually, it is Valjean who looks away first. "I am sick. I cannot do other things."
Javert cannot help the feeling of panic rising in him, that Valjean may never see sense, and Javert will always have to watch the one he loves labor through some incomprehensible self inflicted purgatory. "You are being difficult," he snaps. "You are sick because you are not eating. So eat."
Valjean is trying to extricate himself from Cosette’s life, but Javert is there to fuss over him. And Javert is very fussy, in his own way.
