Well of course he now denies it you'd expect that of a con but he couldn't run forever-no not even Jean Valjean! VALJEAN You say this man denys it all and gives no understanding or repentance? You say this man is going to trial and that he's sure to be returned to serve his sentance? Come to that can you be sure that I am not your man?
