If I do not tell her and she finds out I know, Madame, she will hit me and tell the police to lock me away. That is why I do not leave now. I do not want to be arrested again. She is powerful, Madame. I will tell her tomorrow when I go to her.
[And then Eponine starts thinking. Ella doesn't want her to tell Hattie, and quite frankly, Eponine doesn't blame her. But what if she could give Eponine money - enough to pay Eponine's badly overdue rent - for Eponine not to tell?]
Madame, I do not know how long. Months, Madame, or weeks. I do not know. It has not been years. Do you truly not remember?
