Cosette is surprised into a giggle. "A hut on an island! Why, it sounds -- lovely."
Here's something else she's surprised by: halfway through that sentence, she started really contemplating it, and the word lovely comes out soft and just a little wistful.
"If we had a door to Milliways still, we could see friends, and still live in a cozy little hut on our own quiet island."
And eat... uh... well, Marius could fish! And her father could keep a garden, and she would help him and keep the house clean and pretty! And okay she knows enough to know that she doesn't actually know the practicalities at all and there's no way this would really work, but right now it's a beautiful fantasy to contemplate.
