 Javert is told that he must be incorrect because the "real" Jean Valjean (who is in reality Champmathieu) had just been found.Valjean takes Fantine to the local hospital (which is on the side of the mayor's house) and has her cared for.He learns of Cosette, Fantine's daughter, and tries to pay off the Thénardiers (who are abusing Cosette).
