Rather than swindle the common man now, he acts as a kind of robin des bois. But he's aware of his faults -- older now, seeing differently, looking back with a heavier heart at the things he'd done and... seeking to make reparations. Odile continues to work on the framework, unresponsive, as if she hadn't heard him.
It's simply her mind turning over itself, checking through his words and who she knows-- knew him to be, judging each and weighing their worth. By the time she's settled, the outside is complete.
