Chapter 1
“Miss Manette ... you must understand that I am a man of
business and these matters are not easy for me.”
“Are you saying that my father is ... ?”
“In a manner of speaking, alive ... but greatly changed. He has
been taken to the house of an old servant in Paris, and we are
going there. I, to identify him if I can; you, to bring him back to
life with your loving care”
Mr Lorry could feel her hand shiver as she spoke in a low
voice,
“Pm going to see his ghost! It will be his ghost — not him!”
“There, there, there! You know the best and the worst now. Very
soon, you will be at his dear side ... One more thing, though. Your
father has been found under a different name; his was forgotten
or concealed. We don’t know which, and it would be dangerous
to even ask. Times are very hard in France and we must be very
cautious.I beg you not to say anything about the subject to anyone
until we have brought him safely. to England. This is a secret service.
Even my messages and notes have been condensed into the one 4
line ‘Recalled to Life’, which may mean anything ... but what is @
the matter? Miss Manette! Are you all right?”
Perfectly still and silent, she sat with her eyes open and fixed . 3
upon him, but with the expression of unconsciousness carved |
upon her face. Her hold on his arm was so strong that Mr Lorry %
feared that letting her go might hurt her; therefore, he called out 2
loudly for help without moving.
A large woman with a head of wild red hair and a red fac
swept past him and rushed to the young lady with a troup of :
servants following behind her. With the vigour of a general in
battle, she slapped a determined hand on poor Mr Lorry, sendin,
him flying into the wall and releasing Lucie’s grasp on his arm. |

Chapter 1
Mr Lorry, on recovering his balance, was now most uneasy. He
was only a man of business, after all, and most unaccustomed to
being flung about by a sergeant-at-arms in skirts.
“Look at you all! Don’t just stand there staring at me —am I
so much to look at? Fetch something! Bring smelling salts, cold
water and vinegar! Quick!”
The servants obeyed immediately, rushing from the room and
returning almost instantly with all that was necessary to revive
the girl When Miss Manette began to recover, Mr Lorry, who had
been standing all this time watching and praying, breathed a sigh
of relief.
“I hope she will be all right now”
The woman was calmer now, but could not withhold an accusing
look,
| “Yes, but no thanks to you in brown! Couldn’t you have told
4 her what you had to say without frightening her to death? Do
you even have a name?”
“I am Jarvis Lorry of Tellson’s Bank, London. I am here to
accompany Miss Manette to France.”
“Well, Mr Jarvis Lorry, 1 hope you'll be better prepared to care
for my girl on your journey than you were today.”
She stroked the girl's face with her large fat hand.
“My precious! My bird! Are you better now?”
After a few moments, Mr Lorry realised that he was indeed
ill-prepared for such episodes and that the redheaded woman
could be a valuable assistant on their mission.
“I hope you will be coming with us”
“A likely thing! IfI were meant to cross salt water, do you think
I'd have been born on an island?”

had to admit that, despite

She stood up and faced Mr Lorry, who
ner bad temper, she had a kind face. It gave him the courage to The Shoemaker
speak.
“I could hardly say, Miss ...”
“You may call me Miss Pross.’ S ome days after Miss Manette and Jarvis Lorry’s meeting,
something happened in the district of St Antoine in Paris. A
barrel of red wine fell off the back of a cart onto the paved road
and cracked open. As the wine poured through the street, a
scarecrow of a man in bare feet and rags shouted, “Wine! Red
wine!” and threw himself on the ground, struggling to collect what
he could in the cupped palm of his hand.
Out of nowhere, dozens more scarecrows appeared, also in
rags and bare feet.They too fell to the ground or knelt in the filth
of the street to gather up the flowing wine in their blackened
hands. With desperation they sucked every drop they could into
their poor mouths.
After the street had been wiped clean of the wine, their dark
faces, now stained red, took on a frightening look, like starving
dogs that had had their first taste of blood and would stop at
nothing to get more. One man sacrificed his last drops of wine
to scribble the word BLOOD on a wall.
In a café on the corner of the street, the owner, M Defarge, was
standing by the counter talking to three men. Defarge was a large
man in his early thirties, with a heavy chin and determined dark
eyes.At the end of the counter, Mme Defarge, his wife, a large lady
of about the same age, sat knitting. She knitted fast without looking
at the needles, her watchful eye taking in everything that went on
in the small shop. She noted all the people sitting at the tables,
the regular customers, the men playing dominoes and the older
gentleman sitting in one corner beside a beautiful girl.
a 21
20
 Chapter 2
Defarge and the three men, all of whom shared the code name
Jacques, were discussing what had just occurred in the street.
“It’s not often that these miserable beasts have a taste of wine?
said one of the men. Defarge nodded in sad agreement.
“So, Jacques, the room?”
“Ah, the room. Yes, on the fifth floor. Can you find your own
way?”
“Yes, one of us has been there before” . “ZT think it is”
When they left, the older gentleman came up to Defarge and
asked to speak to him He led the gentleman over to a dark corner
to talk. Not long after that, the gentleman, who was of course
Jarvis Lorry, gestured to the young lady to go to the door.
The three of them went out of the shop, into a stinking black
courtyard. Surrounding it was a great pile of houses, in which a
great number of people lived. Defarge bent and kissed Miss
Manette’s hand, but there was no kindness in his face. He had
become a secretive, angry and very dangerous man.
They made their way across the dirty tiled entrance and up
the stairs.
“Is he alone?” said Mr Lorry as they climbed.
“Of course he’s alone! Who should be with him?”
“Is he always alone then?”
“Yes?
“Has he changed a great deal”
“Changed!”
Defarge’s face tightened in anger as they climbed more floors.
past open doors where people sat in their dark miserable rooms.”
Miss Manette had not said a word. Mr Lorry now almost had t
carry her along. Her body had gone weak and she was tremblin,
“Courage, dear Miss! The worst will soon be over?
24
Chapter 2
nen
As they reached the fifth floor, they saw the three men Defarge
had been talking to earlier, looking into a room through a small
window. Mr Lorry was surprised and concerned.
“Do you make a show of M Manette, sir?”
Defarge was not put out by Mr Lorry’s quiet anger.
“I show him to a chosen few?”
“Is that the right thing to do?”
“Who are the few?”
“Real men, men like myself, to whom the sight of this poor
man may do good ~ men called Jacques. Enough! You are English,
You do not understand”
Defarge, who wished the conversation to end, took a large key
out of his pocket. He was about to put it into the door when
Mr Lorry touched his arm.
“Why do you keep the door locked?”
“Because he lived so long in prison that he would go mad
with fear if he were not locked up”
Mr Lorry said nothing and followed the large man into the
dark room. For a moment they saw nothing. Then, at the back,
next to the only window, they saw a white-haired figure sitting
on a bench making shoes, Defarge was the first to speak to the
bent figure.
“Good day” *
The man did not look up from his work. He just said,*Good day.
“Still hard at work,I see?”
The white head lifted for a moment.
“Yes. I am working”
The old man’s voice had so lost its life that it was like a voice
from underground. Defarge went to the window.
25
 Chapter 2
“T want to let in more light. Is that all right?”
“If you must ...”
Defarge pulled the ragged curtain slightly. The old man on the
bench was now clearly visible. He had a long white beard and a
pale hollow face with very bright blue eyes, His shirt lay open at
the neck and it was possible to see that his body was all bone with
just a thin layer of skin covering it. He put up a hand to his eyes
and the bones seemed almost transparent. Defarge approached him.
“You have a visitor
“What's that?”
“A visitor”
The shoemaker looked up towards the man Defarge was
pointing to — he did not let go of the shoe he was working on.
“That's a fine shoe. Show it to the gentleman.’
Mr Lorry looked carefully at the shoe.
“What kind of shoe is it, sir?”
The old man thought for a moment.
“What's that?”
“The shoe. Who is it for? And who made it?”
“It is a young lady’s walking shoe.”
Defarge repeated Mr Lorry’s last question.
“And the maker's name?”
There was silence for a moment while the old man’s empty
eyes tried to look out through the windows of his inner world.
“Did you ask for my name?”
“T did”
“One Hundred and Five, North Tower”
“Ts that all?”
“One Hundred and Five, North Tower”

‘Chapter 2
Mr Lorry looked sadly at the old man, to whom he had once.
been so close. Only the old man’s bright blue eyes had not changed.
The rest of him was unrecognisable. Mr Lorry tried to trigger a
memory.
“You are not a shoemaker by trade”
“No.I asked them to let me learn. I have been making shoes
ever since?
‘The old man returned to his work, as if retreating nto his own
world, But Mr Lorry persisted.
“M Manette, do you remember me?”
The old man looked up. Lorry put his hand on Defarge’s arm.
“Do you not recognise your old servant here and your old
banker?”
The old man looked at them blankly as Defarge took Mr Lorry
by the arm and led him aside.
“Do you recognise him, monsieur?”
“At first 1 was not sure, but now I am certain it is he all right?
While Defarge and Lorry were talking, Miss Manette had silently
walked over to the bench and sat beside the old man. At first, he
did not notice her but slowly he stopped working on the shoe
and stared at the tears streaming from her eyes.
“What is this?”
Hearing her father’s voice, her hands trembled at her lips.
“Are you the jailer’s daughter?”
“No,’ she sighed.
Then the old man took a piece of string from around his neck
that had a rag tied to it. He unfolded the rag and took from it four
blond hairs, the same colour as the hair of the girl who now sat
beside him, He took the hairs into his hand. Then he looked at
the girl with wonder.
27
 Chapter 2

“How can it be? When I was brought to the Bastille, she laid
her head on my chest and when she was taken from me, I found
them and I said,‘I will keep them.They may not help me escape
in body but they will in mind?”
He looked at the hairs again.
“Was it you who laid your head on my chest? No, it cannot
be. You are too young”
When Defarge and Lorry realised that the old man was responding
to his daughter, they moved closer. Miss Manette spoke gently.
“Don't, gentlemen. Do not speak. Do not move”
The sound of her voice awakened something fong forgotten
in the poor soul.
“Whose voice was that? 1 know that voice. Who are you, my
angel?”
“I cannot tell you my name now or who my mother and father
were. It is not the time and this is not the place. For now, please,
just hold me”
Miss Manette laid her head on the old man’s shoulder so that
her radiant hair shone upon his cold white head, like the light of —
Freedom. She held him close and rocked him to her hke a child.
“I have come to tell you that your pain is over. 1 am taking
you to England where you will have peace and rest.”
Lorry looked at Defarge with concern on his face.
“Do you think he’s fit to travel?”
“Better to travel than to stay in this place”

That night Miss Manette insisted on sleeping in the dirty room °

with her father. She tried in vain to reignite some spark of the past §
which had long ago faded and died. His only recollection was the
Bastille and, as far as he knew, he was still imprisoned there.
28
Chapter 2
In the meantime, Lorry and Defarge had made all the preparations
for their journey. The next morning, as they were getting into the
coach that would take them to Calais, Defarge handed Mr Lorry
the papers they would need to get Dr Manette out of the country.
Mr Lorry did not ask Defarge how he had managed to deal with
the authorities so quickly, but simply shook the man’s hand and
thanked him.
As they passed each gate of the walled districts of Paris,
Miss Manette sat beside her father and held his hand, not letting
it go for a moment. Opposite, Mr Lorry’s plain open face looked
with sympathy upon the defeated soul of his old friend. He was
little more than a dead man taken from the grave. The troubling
question that consumed Mr Lorry was,‘Do you want to be recalled
to life?’ And the answer that kept coming back was, ‘I can’t say’.

Chapter 3
| The Trial
n March 1780, Jerry Cruncher, the messenger and errand boy
ei
Fe
forTellson’s Bank, was at the Old Bailey, one of the most famous
criminal courts in England. His task was to contact Mr Lorry, who
| was waiting inside the court to give his testimony, and remain
there until he was needed.
| Cruncher, a wiry man of about forty with short spiky hair
sticking up in all directions, arrived outside the court where a
large crowd was trying to push their way in. Word had got round
that the accused, a certain Charles Darnay, had been charged with
treason — spying for the French — and would almost certainly be
found guilty and therefore condemned to death.
Jerry pushed his way through the bloodthirsty crowd. There
was always wild excitement when a man was about to hang.
When he reached a little window next to the door, Jerry knocked
and a long face looked out, grumbling that there was no more
room inside. Jerry presented the note from Tellson’s and the
bad-tempered face reluctantly opened the door.
Inside, Jerry found a place against the wall where he could
observe the proceedings. He struck up a conversation with a man
standing beside him.
“What case is coming up?”
“The Treason one. They're sure to hang him!”
“If he’s found guilty, you mean?”
“Oh, they'll find him guilty ail right. Don’t you worry!”
Suddenly all the faces turned towards two jailers who were
bringing in the prisoner. He was a handsome young man of about
31
 Chapter 3
twenty-five, with long dark hair tied at the back of his neck with
a ribbon. He appeared self-confident and unusually calm as he
bowed to the judge in front of the noisy crowded courtroom
The officer of the court then announced the beginning of the
session. Jerry listened while the prosecution reviewed the case.
The prisoner was charged with having given lists of information — “You borrowed money from him, isn’t that so?”
to the French about the nature and size of the army the British
had sent to North America over the past five years. This was useful @
to Louis, King of France, in the war over the American colonies.
Despite the fact that the accused knew he was being condemned
in the mind of almost everyone in the room, he did not show any
sign of fear. At one point his head turned to two figures sitting
towards the front of the court,a young lady and a very distinguished
gentleman with strikingly white hair. She had her arm around his
and when she addressed him, the man’s expression softened and
he seemed to become younger, almost in the prime of life, one
might say.
“What now?” Jerry asked the man next to him.
“Witnesses — against the prisoner,’
The main witness against the accused was a man by the name
of John Barsad, thirty years old, The Attorney General, his wig:
placed squarely upon his head, began his cross-examination.
“John Barsad, have you ever been a spy yourself?”
“Good heavens, no, your honour!”
“How do you earn your living?”
“Er ... property, your honour’
“Where is this property?”
“t can’t remember exactly, your honour.’
Barsad had a rat-like face, narrow with a pointed nose a
close-set eyes.
32
Chapter3
“Now, Mr Barsad, you say you saw the prisoner hand the lists
in question to some Frenchmen,”
“I did, your honour”
“How do you know the accused, Mr Barsad?”
“Business, your honour”
“Yes, your honour”
“And you swear that you know the prisoner well”
“Very well, your honour”
John Barsad was dismissed and the second witness against
the accused was called, a certain Roger Cly, a former servant of
Darnay.
Cly, who had himself notified the authorities of his employer's
crime, described the events to the court very quickly. He had seen
the lists in the prisoner's drawer, lists that he had definitely not
placed there himself, and had seen the priséner hand them over
to French gentlemen at the port of Calais in November 1775.
Then, Mr Lorry was called to the stand and the Attorney General
began his cross-examination.
“Was the prisoner one of the men you saw on the Dover Mail
on the night in question?”
“I cannot be sure. It was dark and cold and everybody was
well wrapped up’
“Have you seen the prisoner before?”
“Yes, I have. Some days later I was returning to England and
he was one of the passengers on the boat?
“Were you travelling alone, Mr Lorry?”
“No, with two companions.A gentleman and a lady”
. Mr Lorry pointed to where Miss Manette and her father were
Sitting,
33
Chapter 3
“Thank you. Miss Manette, please come to the stand”
Miss Manette took the stand while the Attorney General shuffled
through his papers.
“Miss Manette, have you seen the prisoner before?”
“Yes, sir”
“On the boat just referred to by the previous witness and on
the same occasion?”
“Yes, sir”
“Tell us what happened that night”
“When the gentleman ...”
“Do you mean the prisoner?”
“Yes, my lord”
“Then say prisoner!”
“When the prisoner came on board he saw that my father was
not well and he helped me find shelter for him against the wind.
He showed great kindness and gentleness.’
“Was he on board alone?”
“No. He was with two French gentlemen?
“Did you see the prisoner handing papers to his companions?’
“Yes, butI don’t ...”
The Attorney General held some papers in the air.
“The same size and shape as these papers?”
“possibly, but I didn’t see what they said. The gentlemen go!
off the boat before it departed.”
“Now, what did the prisoner say to you?”
“He was as open with me as he was good and kind to m
father and I hope my words do not harm him in any way,’ said
Miss Manette, bursting into tears.
Chapter 3
“Miss Manette, get a hold of yourself! It is your duty to tell the
court what you know. They will decide if what you say, in any
way, incriminates the prisoner. Now, please, go on”
Miss Manette dried her tears and continued.
“He ... he said that he travelled backwards and forwards to
France on business of a very difficult nature”
“Did he say anything about America?”
“Well, he did say something about George Washington making a
great name for himself in history and that England was handling the
American situation very badly, but, but I don’t think he meant ...”
“Thank you, Miss Manette. You may step down.I now call
Dr Manette ... Dr Manette, can you identify the prisoner as the
man you saw and spoke to on the night referred to by the previous
two witnesses?”
“T cannot, sir.”
“Is there any special reason?”
“There is.”
“Has it to do with the fact that you were held prisoner for a
long period without trial in your native country, Dr Manette?”
“They tell me so”
“Can't you remember anything at all?”
“My mind is a complete blank”
The Attorney General dismissed the witness and sat down.
At this point something very strange happened, which was
later believed decisive in the outcome of the trial. The counsel
for the defence was questioning witnesses who claimed they had
seen the prisoner get off the Dover Mail and travel back some
miles to where the army waiting to go to America was stationed,
Another witness claimed that he had seen the prisoner waiting
in the town coffee shop for someone.
35
 Chapter 3
Suddenly Mr Carton, one of the Jawyers for the defence, scribbled
something on a piece of paper and handed it to Mr Stryver, the
lawyer in charge of the cross-examining. Stryver, a large well-fed
man who looked considerably older than his years, read the note
and prepared to ask the witness a question.
“You say that the person you saw was indeed the prisoner?”
“Quite sure.”
“Did you ever see anybody like the prisoner?”
“Not so like the prisoner that I could be mistaken”
“Look carefully upon ‘bat gentleman.”
Stryver pointed to his colleague, who at that point removed
his wig Though his long dark hair, the same length as the prisoner's,
was striking.
“Now look at the prisoner. Are they not almost identical?”
The witness Jooked carefully at the two men, the lawyer and
the prisoner.
“J have to admit that they look the same”
Just then, Mr Carton noticed that Miss Manette’s head had
dropped onto her father’s shoulder and shouted, “Officer! Help
that young lady! Can’t you see that she will fall?”
The officer of the court helped Dr Manette take his daughte
out of the courtroom. Soon after that, the judge called an end to the
court and said that he would announce his decision in one hour.
Mr Carton saw Mr Lorry on his way out of the courtroom.
“How is the young lady, Mr Lorry?”
“Distressed, but better.”
Mr Carton also approached the prisoner. He could see the
anxiety on the accused's face,
“You wish to hear of Miss Manette. She is much better.”
38
Chapter 3
“IT am so glad to hear it.I am sorry to-have been the cause of
her distress. Could you tell her so for me?”
“I could, ] suppose.”
“Please, accept my thanks for your ingenious assistance”
Carton nodded his head.
“What do you expect, Mr Darnay?”
“The worst.”
An hour and a half passed before the judge came back with
his decision. Cruncher had gone to get himself something to eat
and, as he climbed the steps to the courtroom, he saw Mr Lorry
4 hurrying towards him.
q “Jerry! jerry! Take this message back to Tellson’s”
Mr Lorry handed Jerry a piece of paper, on which it said,‘Not
guilty’. Jerry smiled and looked at Mr Lorry.
“If you had sent the message, ‘Recalled to life’ again, I would
have understood what you meant this time!”
tee
Some minutes later, Dr Manette, Lucie Manette and Mr Lorry
stood gathered around Mr Darnay congratulating him on his
escape from death. Darnay kissed Miss Manette’s hand gratefully
and turned to shake hands with Stryver, who had just pushed his
way into the company.
“T owe you my life, Mr Stryver”
“Iam glad to have cleared your name, Mr Darnay” Mr Lorry
stepped out from behind the large man.
“You did a remarkable job”
“You think so? Well! You ought to know. You were there all
day,”
“Yes, yes. But Miss Manette is not well and it has been a tiring
day for us all. | suggest we all go home now,’ said Mr Lorry.
39
 Chapter 3
PS

“Speak for yourself? said Mr Stryver loudly. “I’ve got a night's.

o>

work to do”
“I speak for myself, Mr Darnay, Miss Lucie and ...”
Mr Lorry looked at Dr Manette, whose face seemed frozen
and
whose eyes were fixed on Darnay with a curious, intent look;
a
frown of dislike and distrust. Lucie softly laid her hand on her
father’s.
“My father ... Shall we go home, my father?”
Her voice shook the shadow off the dactor’s face, and he agreed,
Soon a Carriage was brought round and Lucie and the doctor got
in. Then, Mr Lorry left wishing Darnay well, as did Stryver.
Charles Darnay was now alone. Mr Carton had been leaning
against a wall, watching from a distance. When .everyone left,
Carton came over to where Darnay was standing.
“Well, how do you feel?” .
“I hardly feel I belong to this world yet. 1 am also
faint with
hunger.”
“Let me take you to a little nearby tavern then”
Soon they were in a dark place below ground level, They
sat
by themselves at a table in the corner and ordered. While
eating,
Carton looked at Darnay intensely.
“How does it feel to have the sympathy and compassion
of
such a fair lady, Mr Darnay? Is it worth being tried for
one’s life?”
Darnay did not say a word and Carton continued.
“She was very pleased indeed to receive your
message, when
I gave it to her. Not that she showed it, but
[ think she was”
These words reminded Daray that this disagreeable
companion
had, of his own free will, helped him, so he decided
to change
the subject.
“T wish to thank you for what you did for me
today, Mr Carton.”
41
 Chapter 3

“{ don’t want thanks.I don’t even know why ! did it. Mr Darnay,
let me ask you a question.”
“Of course, anything.”
“Do you think T like you?”
Darnay was surprised by the question, but answered truthfully.
“Really, Mr Carton,I have not asked myself”
“Ask yourself now”
“You act as if you do, but I don’t think you do”
“I don’t think I do. You are right”
“Well, I hope we will part good friends and you will let me
pay the bill”
As Darnay paid the bill and rose to leave, Carton called out
abruptly.
“I wish to tell you something.1 care for no man on this earth |
and no man on earth cares for me”
“That is a great pity. You have many talents, Mr Carton”
“Maybe so. Maybe not, Darnay. Good night!”
When his companion left, Carton put his head down on his
hancls and fell asleep on the table in the tavern.
¥4t

At about ten that night, the waiter in the tavern came and woke
Carton.
: “Is it ten already?”
he said shaking the sleepiness from his head. }
He got to his feet and walked down the street to where Stryver |
had his office. Stryver was busy in front of a pile of papers when
Carton walked in.
“You're late, Sydney.’
| “Just a quarter of an hour”
Pt

“By the way, Sydney, how did you think of that identificatio
eT

trick?”
42

“By chance really. 1 was thinking what a handsome fellow he
was and how much like him I might have been”
Stryver laughed and then pointed to a large pile of papers.
“There is your wotk for tomorrow. And don’t be late with it!”
“Tl won't”
“Sydney, do you remember our days in the Student Quarter in @
Paris, where we tried to pick up French and French law? You were :
always much better at it than I. Yet, look at you now, working for 2
me and earning a clerk's wage”
“You were always better at making yourself heard. I just can’t
be bothered.”
“What a pity, Sydney! What a pity! But I do believe I can do @
nothing to change you.”
Stryver put on his coat to leave and turned to Carton.
“What did you think of our pretty witness, Sydney?”
“Pretty?”
“Is she not?”
“No?
“That's strange. I could swear you looked at her very fondl
“Well, you are wrong.’
Carton showed Stryver down the stairs with his candle. Outside:
it was a cold grey night. He came back into the office and collapsed:
at a desk and cried till the papers on it were wet with wasted
tears. He knew he could do nothing to stop the sadness eatin
away at him like an incurable disease.
Chapter 4
Monsieur le Marquis
Pee months had passed since Charles Darnay had been cleared
of treason. On a warm summer evening, Mr Lorry was on his
way to dine at the home of Dr Manette and his daughter. They
now lived in a small house with a garden on a quiet corner not
: far from Soho Square in London.
Walking up the paved path to the front door, he was thinking
about his old friend, who was now well enough to practise
medicine again.
3 The maid led him into the living room and told him to wait,
as the doctor and Miss Manette were out for a walk. Since there
was no sign of Miss Pross, Mr Lorry decided to have a look around
the house.As he was passing Dr Manette’s room, he saw the bench
and the shoemaker's tools and remembered the room on the fifth
floor above the café in the district of St Antoine in Paris.
‘Why does he keep these objects that remind him of his
suffering” he wondered.
At that moment Miss Pross appeared at the top of the stairs.
She looked as large and as red as ever.
“Spying, Mr Lorry? I thought you'd have better things to do”
Mr Lorry blushed slightly.
“Not exactly, Call it ... erm, concern for my old friend”
“Are you well, Mr Lorry?”
“Moderately well, indeed, and yourself?”
“Nothing to write home about”
- “Is something upsetting you?”
“My Lucie?

cate
“Indeed. What is the matter?”
“T don’t want dozens of people coming here to court my Lucie.”
aA
“Do dozens come here for that purpose?” asked Mr Lorry surprised.
“Hundreds!”
They walked downstairs and into the living room. Mr Lorry ‘
knew Miss Pross well enough by now to understand how protective 4
she was of Lucie. He also knew that she was one of the most §
selfless people in the world.
“There's only one man worthy of my ladybird, and that’s my &
brother Solomon — if only he hadn’t made a mistake in life!”
Mr Lorry had heard that Miss Pross’ brother was a heartless
devil, who had taken everything she owned and disappeared.
She didn’t know if he was dead or alive as he hadn’t bothered
even to send her a letter in five years.
Mr Lorry made himself comfortable in a seat by the window, |
“Do you think Dr Manette thinks about those years in prison?”
“T do?
“Do you imagine ...”
“T never imagine. I have no imagination at all? interrupted Miss
Pross.
“Do you suppose that the doctor has any idea why he was:
put in prison for so many years and by whom?”
“{ don’t suppose anything, but Lucie tells me.”
Mr Lorry tried not to show impatience.
“That .. ?”
“That she thinks he has. He thinks about it all the time.”
“Indeed?
“He sometimes gets up in the middle of the night and paces
back and forth. And Lucie goes to him and they pace back and:
forth together”

Mr Lorry then learnt that there were times when the good
doctor sank into a deep inner world. At these times he would sit
at his bench for hours, sometimes days, working away at his shoes.
During these times it was almost impossible to talk to him.
Soon Lucie and Dr Manette arrived back from their walk and
they all sat down to dinner. Dr Manette was looking weli and
Lucie as beautiful as ever, her cheeks quite pink and her golden
hair glistening.
After dinner Mr Darnay arrived and joined the company under
the plane tree in the garden. They began talking about sights they
had seen in London. Charles mentioned the Tower of London,
where letters of the alphabet had been discovered carved on a
wall of one of the cells. While Charles was telling this story,
Dr Manette suddenly went very pale.
“My father! You are ill!”
“No, my dear, not ill. There are large drops of rain falling and
I'm rather startled. We had better get in?
The doctor recovered almost instantly. Rain really was falling
in large drops, and he showed the back of his hand with raindrops
on it. But he did not say a word about the discovery in the Tower
of London. Mr Lorry, however, had his doubts.
Just as Miss Pross was about to serve tea, Sydney Carton arrived
and sat down with the rest near the window. Despite the heavy
rain, the night was hot and steamy.
“The raindrops are still falling, large, heavy and few. It comes
slowly,’ noted Dr Manette.
“It comes surely,’ said Carton.
There was a great hurry in the streets; people were speeding away
to find shelter before the storm broke, The room was full of echoes
of footsteps coming and going, and yet not a footstep was there.

to look at him. It was Defarge’s wife, Thérése, who stood knitting
with the unwavering certainty of Fate. Her cold contempt went
unnoticed by the noble insensitive face.

As the Marquis travelled through the open country, patches of
poor wheat could be seen on either side of the road, Soon the
carriage rumbled uphill to a poor village of one poor street, one
tavern and a stable-yard. The people were bent and hungry from
too much work and not enough food. The little they earned went
to pay taxes; taxes for the state, the lord, the church, local taxes 4
and general taxes. Their only purpose in life, it seemed, was to :
pay the taxes that left them in extreme poverty.
Halfway through the village, the Marquis noticed a workman | 8
watching the carriage and ordered his driver to stop.
“You! What were you looking at just now?”
“A man, your honour, hanging from your carriage?
“Who was it?”
“t couldn't say, your honour. He was covered in dust, and then#
he jumped off and ran into the forest”
M Gabelle, the postman, tax collector and policeman of th
village, had also seen the stranger. The Marquis called out to him,
“M Gabelle, find this man and arrest him!”
Gabelle nodded respectfully.
“(Il certainly do my best, sir”
By nightfall, the Marquis arrived at his grand chateau and inquir
if his nephew had arrived.’The butler replied that he had not.
During supper, the nobleman was thinking about the even
of the day.As he looked out of the window onto the shadov
garden, he thought he saw a figure moving among the trees.
52
| “My nephew has not arrived yet you said?”
“No, my lord, he hasn't”
“I saw someone moving in the garden”
“It is nothing, I’m sure, my lord.The wind in the trees perhaps,’
| “Fine. You may bring my meal”
j Soon, the very Frenchman found not guilty of treason at the
4 Old Bailey, arrived and sat down to supper with the Marquis. It
:: was his nephew, Charles Darnay.
' “You came directly from Paris?”
“Straight from England, Uncle. Were it not for the very important
nature of my business, I would not be here at all”
“Why is that, Charles?”
“I feel ] am in certain danger here”
“The times are indeed bad. Once we had the power of life and
death over these dreadful peasants, but people do not think the
same way now. Very bad, very bad!” ,
“I believe we have used our position unfairly. I see nothing
but hate in the eyes of those you call ‘peasants’”
“As it should be, Charles. The more they hate you, the more
they respect you.A compliment to our family’s name.”
“Our family, our honourable family! We destroyed anyone who
came between us and our pleasures! And you and my father have
carried on this frightful tradition!”
“Your father is dead!”
“And has left me responsible for the disgrace upon our name
and powerless to change it! I am risking my own life to fulfil my
dear mother’s last request — to make amends to those we've
harmed and offended and restore honour to the house
of
St Evrémonde”
» The Marquis laughed.

“This property and this country mean nothing to me, Uncle.I

As Charles sat thoughtfully, the Marquis cast a look of dislike

“And how do you intend to live, may I ask?”
“England 1s home to me now and the name I have taken there
can bring no further shame to us.’

“Yes?”

Marriage Proposals
A year had passed since Charles Darnay’s uncle was brutally
murdered. Charles himself had quickly returned to England,
§ not wishing to deal with the authorities in France.
In England, Charles was making a good living teaching French
and Literature, He was also madly in love with Lucie Manette
whom he had adored since the day he first saw her. He wanted
to marry her and so went to the house in Soho when he knew
Lucie would be out to ask her father for her hand in marriage.
He found Dr Manette reading in an armchair The doctor looked
up and seemed pleased to see Charles,
“It was time you paid us a visit, M Darnay, But I’m afraid Lucie
is not here.”
“Yes,I know,’ said Charles shyly.“ planned to visit you when
she would not be home so that I might speak to you privately,
sit. Dear Dr Manette, I love your daughter dearly’ .
Charles saw the doctor’s hesitation and continued.
“You know what it is to love someone. I’m sure you understand
how I feel”
The doctor turned away from Charles, unable to hide his pain,
“I beg you, do not remind me of that ... forgive me.I do not
doubt your love for Lucie”
|
“You must understand that I do not want to come between
you and your daughter, Dr Manette. I have seen your devotion
to
each other and, if anything, want only to share some part of this
extraordinary love. If such a thing is possible,I wish to bring
even
more love into your lives”
55
 Chapter 5
After a silence of a few moments, the doctor raised his eyes
for the first time to Charles.
“Do you have any reason to believe that Lucie loves you?”
“No, sir. 1 have not revealed my feelings to her, nor has she
spoken to me of hers. 1 was hoping perhaps you could give me
some guidance.”
" “Pm, I’m afraid ...that my daughter is, in this respect, a mystery
to me, too”
“MayI ask, sir, if ...”
“You mean if you have any rivals?”
“That is what I meant”
“You have seen Mr Stryver here and Mr Carton. If there is i
anyone, it could only be one of them”
“I see” said Charles with a worried look on his face. “If she :
should reveal ... any feelings for me ... would you ... ?”
The doctor put an understanding hand on Charles’ shoulde
“Tl tell you”
After a moment’s silence, Charles continued.
“T wish to tell you why I am in England”
“Stop!”
“I want you to trust me”
“Stop! Tell me when I ask you, not now. If Lucie should love yous
you may tell me on the morning of your wedding. Do you promise?\&
“Willingly”
ee
Mr Stryver arrived at is :
At five o’clock the following morning,
office to find Carton still working. Stryver was in a very good
mood, despite the hour of the day.
“tT am going to tell you something, Sydney, that will rathe
surprise you. I intend to marry?’
56
Chapter 5
Carton showed no interest.
“Do you?”
“Yes, and not for money. Guess who it is”
“It’s five o’clock in the morning and I am in no mood for
guessing, Just tell me.”
“Miss Manette.”
Carton was not surprised and let Stryver continue.
“I don’t care that she has no fortune. I, myself, am pretty
well-off and am a rising man. Well, do you approve?”
“Why shouldn’t 1?”
“Good! Good! Now let me give you a piece of advice. Find
yourself a nice woman with property, a landlady or something.
That’s what you need.”
Later that day, as a man of decision, Mr Stryver went straight
to Dr Manette to discuss the matter. He thought there was no
possibility of his refusing. He had everything that a young girl
could want; a fortune, a future and a good character, On his way
to Soho, he decided to stop at Tellson’s and have a word with
Mr Lorry, knowing that he was close to Dr Manette.
When Mr Lorry saw Stryver he was somewhat surprised.
“What can I do for you, Mr Stryver?”
“Nothing to do with money.A private matter”
“Oh, indeed!” .
“Iam going to ask your lovely little friend Lucie Manette to
marry me”
“Oh, dear me!”
“What do you mean ‘Oh, dear me?”
“I mean ... yes ... well...”
“Am I not wealthy?”
 Chapter 5

“Indeed”
“Am I not doing well in my profession?”
“Indeed?
“Hang it, man! What is wrong?”
“T just feel, Mr Stryver, that you should not go about something
unless you have a good chance of succeeding”
“You think I may not succeed?”
“Tl tell you what ... lam going to Soho this afternoon. could
test the waters.As a man of business,J can ...”
“Very well. 1 expect you to tell me this evening what you find
out.”
At that, Stryver turned and burst out of the bank as if a gale
had just blown through an open window.
After this meeting with Mr Lorry, Stryver began to think. Not
to succeed would indeed be very humiliating and he would sooner
humiliate ber than be humiliated himself. So when Mr Lorry passed
by Stryver's office later that day, he pretended to have forgotten
all about the marriage proposal.
“I have been to Soho,’ said Mr Lorry.
“Soho?”
“The Manettes,”
“Oh, to be sure.”
“I feel that my earlier advice stands.I cannot be sure you will
succeed”
Mr Stryver didn’t seem at all put out.
“Well, you know the girl better than I do. So be it”
Mr Lorry could only stare at Stryver.

“Are you ready? Shall I show you the room I told you about?”
“Yes, thank you.”
They went out past the dirty courtyard and up the tiled stairs
to the fifth floor, where Mr Lorry and Lucie had found Dr Manette
some six years earlier. But no white-haired man was there no
only three men who had been in the café earlier. They met
secrecy, all taking the name of the common man, the revolutionary,
Jacques. Defarge made the introductions.

That night Charles wrote two letters, one to his wife explaining
why he had to go to Paris, and the other to Dr Manette asking |
him to look after his family in his absence.

The day of his departure was very hard for Charles. Unaware ;
of her husband's plans, Lucie was particularly happy that day. But :
he could not allow her affectionate mood to keep him from his
mission. He had a duty to Gabelle. :
Half an hour before midnight, Charles left the letters on the
hall table of his Soho home, quietly closed the door and went to §
the nearest stable where he had arranged to pick up a horse that
would take him to Dover. His dangerous journey had begun. He

Alone, the two old friends could now discuss the emergency
at hand. At that moment a sharp sound from the courtyard below
caught their attention.
“What is that noise” asked Dr Manette.
“Don’t look out!”
Mr Lorry was unable to prevent Dr Manette from opening the
curtains. In the middle of the courtyard was a large grindstone
ona wheel, which was used for sharpening knives and axes.Two
men with long wild hair and cruel faces were turning it madly.
All around, people covered in sweat and blood sharpened their
weapons of war.
“What are they going to do?”
Mr Lorry hesitated but knew he could not hide the truth from
his old friend.
“They are the ones murdering the prisoners?
“Then they know the way to La Force!”
Mr Lorry quickly realised the doctor's intent and tried to
iscourage him.
“But Dr Manette! These men ...”
“J was a Bastille prisoner for eighteen years, my friend. Knowing
that, none of these patriots would touch me, except to carry me

Mr Lorry closed the curtains and rushed to Lucie. He reassured
her that her father was safe and that he was being helped by the
people to find her husband.They passed the night without news,
either good or bad.
As a man of business, Mr Lorry knew that hiding the wife of |
an emigrant prisoner at Tellson’s might put the bank at risk. :
Therefore, when Dr Manette did not return by noon the next day, §
they agreed that she and the others would rent a flat nearby.
After some searching, Mr Lorry found them a suitable place in §
a quiet street not far from the Bank. As soon as he helped them }
settle, providing them with necessary comforts and with Jerry as :
a protector, he returned to his business.
As he was about to close up, Mr Lorry heard footsteps on the
stairs. In a few moments a harsh-looking man stood in front of :
him, startling him.
“May I help you?”
“Don’t you recognise me?” said the man.
“Have I seen you somewhere?”
“Perhaps at my café?”
The memory of this hard-faced Jacques came back to him |
now.
“Ah, yes.”
Defarge handed him a message from Dr Manette, which rea
‘Charles is safe but I cannot leave. Let the messenger see Lucie.
Mr Lorry took Defarge down the steps and out into the courtyard.
Two women were waiting, knitting. The old banker thought

“Mme Defarge surely! Will she be coming with us?”

They finally arrived at the little home. Lucie was surprised to
see Mr Lorry so soon. Mr Lorry expiained the purpose of their visit
“Mme Defarge wishes to see those she will protect”
Mme Defarge stopped knitting for a moment and pointed at
Little Lucie.
“Is this the child?”
Lucie went towards Mme Defarge, who had remained cold
and distant.
“Can you help us?”
“Your husband is not my business. Only you and your daughter”
When they left, Lucie was shaking with fear. Mr Lorry put an
arm around her shoulder.
: “Courage, my dear. So far all goes well”
Lucie was not especially reassured.
“I know, you're right, Mr Lorry ... but that woman left a cold
chill in me”
“There’s nothing to worry about, my dear”
The truth was that the chill of the Defarges lay dark upon him
too, and his discomfort was hard to conceal.
Many things were kept from Lucie Manette at this time. The
