(The TWO WOMAN exit DL. Dazed, FANTINE hardly knows what to do. A pair of dandies and tormentors, BAMATABOIS and LEGARD, enter LC.)
BAMATABOIS : (Wolf Whistle.) Now what have we here?
LEGARD : It might be a lady
BAMATABOIS : It might be. But I think this one is a peasant
LEGARD : In that case, let's go peasant hunting.
(As THEY begin to tease FANTINE, SHE begins to cough violently.)
BAMATABOIS : Leave her be. She's got the cough. We'll set our sights on finer stuff.
(The pair exit C. Broken, FANTINE exits DL.)
