He retreats to his small rooms set behind the house, and finds an envelope to put some money into. After a moment's thought, he adds a little more than originally planned; Cosette must be provided for there, he knows what he owed, he knows the money he is giving anonymously to certain patrons. And though he is no longer Bound, there is no telling whether he will be again. Should he ever return.
It does not take long. He returns to Cosette's house, and hands the envelope to her.
'If you ask the bar to keep it for me, she will pass it on the next time she sees me. Thank you.'
It does not occur to him, even for a moment, to explain what is held therein.
