"Yes, that's right."

She doesn't want a bed in the infirmary. She's not ill; she doesn't want to sleep here, out in a public place, if she doesn't have to. Ought she to?

"I don't think I need a bed here, monsieur, though I thank you very much for the kind offer. Only -- if he wakes and I'm not here, please, could you send for me right away? You, or the nurse looking after him?"

Joly has nearly finished his note, so of course it's only now that Cosette remembers, "Oh, but -- monsieur, thank you, but my mother -- she only reads a little..."

Cosette has been helping her a little, and Fantine has been working on her own, but still.
