"It is not enough." He's rarely shocked, but this comes close to it; the act Fauchelevent is choosing to commit is a horror and an absurdity, and he can't keep the emotion out of his voice; isn't trying, in truth. Still, he has enough sense of himself to turn himself a little, enough that his gestures won't be directed at Fauchelevent. The man's beyond meek, and Bahorel's not trying to threaten.
"It is not enough, you are her father- don't argue about papers and legalities! To hell with the law! You are her father, you have raised her, you have loved her, you have taught her to trust the world because it has you behind it. No law can change that now. And you'll see her a little, and say for her that it's enough! Have you no idea what you're taking from her--"
He breaks off and looks at Valjean again, realizing. "--You don't at all, do you."
