Heres the other part of the other chapter


" Cosette's Mother died later that night, I never found out why. I guess they didn't find it important to tell a five year old why her mother died, perhaps they didn't think Cosette would have understood. Anyways Capasina took Cosette's Mother's place the next day.

Cosette laid once again in the lavender fields, Samson ran chasing the shadows.

"Cosette?" Samson whispered. She had not spoken a word since she heard the news.

"I'm fine Samson."

"Do you miss her?"

"No, how can I miss someone I only see at dinner"

"Why are you so sad?"

"Because I don't miss her, I never knew her. Everyone said my mother and I were so alike, but when I look at her I just see another painting of a proper lady. She once had spirit but it was taken away from her, will my spirit too be taken?"

"No one can predict the future, Cosette" Samson sat beside her, "But I'll put my money on you keep it"

"Cosette! Come inside your sister wants you" a maid called.

Cosette sighed.

"Doesn't your sister at all feel any sorrow for your mother" Samson said following her up to the castle.

"No Samson, It's not proper to show emotion"

"Father must you go?" Cosette cried waiting by the horse carriage.

"It's only for a few days, the riots in Le Bette are growing and they need me to sort it out." Cosette's Father had not looked into Cosette's eyes since her mother's death, perhaps it was because she looked so much like her mother.

"Cosette come her," Capasina called Cosette like she was a dog.

Cosette obeyed.

"Good my dears, I will return in a few weeks." With that he left.

"Come Cosette it's time for your studies"

But Cosette's father did not return in a few weeks, nor did he return in a few mouths.

Capasina's voice, startled Cosette as she was walking out the door.

"Cosette come here for a minute."

Cosette obeyed.

Capasina's hands hold a letter.

"Is that from father?" Cosette asked.

"No not really, Cosette our father is dead. He was killed sometime during the riot. Now don't you worry Cosette, I'm an adult now so we don't need to get involved with the orphan stuff. Only problem is that it's not proper for a women to run father's business. Well, I'll sort that out. Why don't you go up stairs and practice your music."

Cosette obeyed.

"Cosette?" Samson said.

"I'm fine, At lease I knew my father a little bit better than my mother."

Capasina's scream awoken the whole castle, "The Duke of Harries what's me to come to his house for lunch, today. I must get ready, oh but what will I wear?"

Capasina's date lasted hours which gave time to Cosette to abandon her studies and play in the lavender fields.

Capasina return late at night, but Cosette had waited up with the maids.

"Oh what I good day, John I mean Mr. Harries has asked me to marry him!" She yelled when she walk through the door. "About time to, my mother was already married and had me by the time she was eighteen."

"Just like that?" Cosette asked, "Do you love him?"

"Cosette love is for poor people, married is a business deal. He continues his family line and gets our father's business and we get to move into a bigger house and get taken care of for the rest of our lives. Oh Cosette you should see his house, it's twice as big as ours and the …"

"Wait a second, move?" Cosette asked.

"Cosette it is very rude to interrupt people while their talking."

"Do you say we had to move?"

"Well yes, it is part of the deal. We move in two days, and then there is the ball then the next day the wedding."

"No" Cosette said.

"What?"

"You can't make me, I won't leave." Cosette ran out the door.

"Maid please fetch my sister and make sure goes to bed, we're meeting John's parents tomorrow and I want us to look our best." Capasina smiled as she walked up the stairs.

Samson watched her go and then ran after Cosette. Samson found her lying down in the lavender crying.

"Everything's going be all right, Cosette."

"I hope your right, Samson" She pick him up and hugging him, "I hope your right"
