The Street of Poverty
St. Antoine was a miserable street in Paris,
where children had sad pale faces and wretch-
ed clothes. Hunger seemed to be written on the
faces of these children, as well as on the faces
oft every man and woman. Nothing was. bright
and shiny in this street, except the shops which
sold tools and weapons. Those shops were full
of the sharpest and biggest bright knives, and
the most fatal guns. It seemed that those bright
weapons were waiting for the time when they
would be brought out to do some horrible ac-
tion.
A large wine barrel had been dropped and
broken in St. Antoine street as a cart was pas-
sing by. Red wine was poured over the rough
zround to form little poo!s in the gaps and
cracks among these stones.
Instantly, all the people nearby left what they
were doing and hurried to the place to get some
of the wine before the ground swallowed it.
Some knelt down to gather it in their hands, but

brought cups and tried to fill them; others dip-
ped their clothes in the wine and then sucked it
eagerly. Then a joyful sound of laughter pre-
vailed for a time in that street of poverty and
misery. But soon all the wine disappeared and
the joyful laughter died away. The wretched
people returned. to whatever they had been
doing before.
A tall man approached. He dipped his fin-
ger in some mud turned red with the wine and
wrote on the wall the word: «Blood» in big let-
ters. They all realized that time would come
when blood would flow in St. Antoine streets
and stain. its. stones red.
The. wine barrel had been on its way to an
inn at the corner. The inn-keeper; Monsieur De-
farge, stood out side. He was a strongly - built
man of about thirty, His face was good-natured
on the whole, but that showed signs of strong
determination and ‘the complete absence of
weakness, He was a man to be feared as an
enemy to be feared.
Monsieur Defarge stood watching the struggle
for the wine, for some time. Then he thought.
«It’s not my problem. they must bring me
another barrel instead of ‘that vroken one».

10Then his sight fell on the man who had written
that horrible word on the wall, and the called
him. «Hey. Gaspard. are you crazy? Why do
you write such stupid words in the street?».
Madame Defarge was at the inn when her
husband came in. She was of his own
age. with a very keen eye, bold face’ und of a
calm silent manner, As her hasan ee
she gave a little cough and looked at 4 ceftain

were sitting in a corner. and whom he eV

attracted the attention of his young friend as wy
to say. «This is our man».
«What on earth are those two doing here?»
Defarge wondered.
«I don't know them».
He pretended not to notice the two strangers,
and started to talk with three men who were
drinking at the bar.
«What happened, Jacques?» said one of them
to Monsieur Defarge.

rel?»,
«Every drop of it», Defarge answered.
The second man said. «Rarely do these mis-
erable beasts know the taste of wine, or of any
thing, except black bread and horrible death.
Isn't that true. Jacques’.
«Yes, it is true», Monsieur Detarge replied.
The third man said as he put down his glass,
«Ah! Such poor cattle always have a nasty bitter
taste in their empty mouths; they lead a hard
life. Is not that so, Jacques’».
«lt is so, Jacques», answered Monsieur De-
farge.
Madame Defarge made a movement to attract
his attention.
«Gentlemen», he said, «the room you wish to
see is at the top of the stairs. Go into the yard.
One of you has come here before and will
guide you through the way».
They paid for their wine and said good bye.

14The old gentleman approached Monsieur De-
farge and asked permission to speak to him.
Their conversation was brief. Almost at the first
word Monsieur Defarge seemed deeply atten-
tive. Then he nodded and went out. The old
gentleman made a sign to the young lady, and
then went out, too.
Mr. Defarge went on with her knitting and
did not notice any thing. Mr. Jarvis Lorry (the
old gentelman) and Miss Lucie Manette met De-
farge in the yard to which he had recently
directed the three men. There Defarge did an
astonishing thing. He got down on one knee and
touched the young lady's hand with his lips.
Defarge had once been a servant of Dr. Man-
ette, Lucie’s father, Lucie’s mother died, and
her father, the doctor, disappeared; and nobody
knew what had happened to him since then. His
money was in Tellson'’s Bank — an English
Bank. Lucie was brought to England as a baby,
and Mr. Jarvis Lorry was put in charge of her
money and took care of her education, since he
was an official of Tellson’s Bank and an old
friend of her father.
Mr. Lorry took the child to Miss Pross, an,
English woman, to bring her up. She became

«Yes, I think, it is safer to do so».
«Why do you think so?»
«Because. he has lived so long locked up that
he would be frightened if his door was left
open».
«Is that possible?» asked Mr. Lorry with sur-
prise».
«It is possible», answered Defarge bitterly.
«In this beautiful world, such things are possible.
They are not only possible, they are actually
done daily. Such is the state of France».
Their conversation was in so low a whisper
that none of it reached the young lady's ears.
But as they approached the door, she began to
tremble.
Deep anxiety was shown on her face.
«Courage, my dear, be brave! the worst thing
will be over in a minute. Think only of the
happiness you will bring him».
Suddenly, at a turn in the stairs, they came
upon three men who were looking into a room
through the cracks in a door. As they heard foot
steps, they jumped with fear: they were the
three men who had been drinking in the inn.

20«Leave us, you boys, We have business
here,» said Defarge.
The three went down without uttering a word.
Mr. Lorry was furious and whispered to De-
farge, «Do you make a show of Monsieur Man-
ette?».
«l show him to a few, to those whose sight is
likely to do good. You are English, so you do
not understand what 1 mean. Stay here for a
moment, please».
Defarge knocked with his keys on the door as
if to warn the person inside, Then he inserted
it in the lock and opened it slowly. He looked
into the room and uttered something. A faint
voice answered. He looked back and signed to
them to enter. Mr. Lorry held the daughter's
hand and led her, saying, «Come in, come in».
«I am excited», she answered, shaking with
fear.
«Why are you shaking? Are you afraid?».
«I am afraid of him, my father».
He put her trembling arm around his neck,
lifted her a little and hurried into the rogm,

The Shoemaker
«Good day». said Monsieur Defarge, looking
down at the white head bent over the work.
The white head was raised for a moment.
Then a faint voice replied, «Good day».
«You are still hard at work, I see».
After a long silence the head was lifted again
for a moment, and the weak voice replied,
«Yes — I am still working».
The faintness of the voice was very pitiable.
It seemed to be the result not only of bodily
weakness but also of lack of practice. The old
man was poorly dressed. He had a white beard,
a hollow face and extremely bright eyes that
appeared to be unnaturally large. He took no
notice of his visitors; he seemed hardly to know
that they were there. His mind had obviously
been affected by his long imprisonment.

26Mr. Lorry came silently forward, leaving
Lucie by the door.
«Come», said Defarge. «you have a visitor.
Show him the shoe that you are making. Tell
him what kind of a shoe it is».
The weak voice replied, «It is a lady’s shoe,
a young lady's shoe. It is in the present fashion.
But I have never seen such a shoe. I have only
seen a pattern».
He looked at the shoe with a little pride, pride
in his own handiwork.
«And what is your name’» asked Mr. Lorry.
«My name? One hundred and five, North
Tower».
«What? Is that all?».
«One hundred and Five, North Tower».
«But you are not a shoemaker by trade, are
you?» asked Mr. Lorry..
The old man paused for a while. «No», he
said, «1 am not a shoemaker by trade. I learned
it in prison, They gave me permission to learn».

30She could not speak, but she sat down beside
him on the bench. He drew away from her, but
she laid her hand on his arm. He dropped his
knife and sat looking at her.
Her golden hair lay in curls on her shoulders.
Nervously he put out his hand to touch it. Then
he gave a deep sigh and went on with his
shoemaking.
Again the old man stopped; he touched
Lucie’s hair again and looked closely at it.
«lt is the same», he said. «But how can it
be?»,
He put his hand to his neck and took off a
blackened string that had a folded bit of cloth at
the end of it. He opened this, carefully, on his
knee. It contained a small quantity of hair —
just a few long golden hairs which he had long,
long ago wound upon his finger.
He took her hair into his hand again and looked
carefully atit.
«It is the same. But how can it be? She laid
her head upon my shoulder that night when I
was called out. And when I was brought to the
North Tower I found these hairs upon my coat».
He tumed on her with terrifying suddenness.

32But she sat perfectly still and, when Defarge
and Mr. Lorry would have come to her help,
only said, «I beg you, gentlemen, do not come
near us, do not speak, do not move».
«Whose -voice is that?» he cried, «What is
your name?»
«Oh, sir, at another time you shall hear my
name, and who my mother was, and who was
my father. But I cannot tell you now, and I
cannot tell you here. All that I can tell you is
that I love you, and that I beg you to kiss me
and to give me your blessing».
She put her arm round his neck, held his
head to her breast as if he were a child.
«Thank God your long sorrow is over. From
here we are going to England to be at peace and
at rest. Give thanks to God who has brought
you through so much suffering into peace at
last».
For a long time he remained with her arm
around him. Then he slipped softly to the floor.
A great calm had followed the storm. He slept
as peacefully as a child.
Mr. Lorry bent over the sleeping man. «We
must take him away now, immediately».

«Fitter for the journey than to remain in this
city. so terrible to him».
«lt is true», said Defarge. «And for many
reasons Monsieur Manette would be better out
of France. Say, shall I hire a carriage and
horses?».
«That is business», said Mr. Lorry. «And if
business is to be done, I am the man to do it».
«Then please leave us here», said Miss Man-
ette. «You see how quiet he has become.
Lock the door when you go out. Leave us
together. Do not be afraid. He is quite safe with
me, and I am quite safe with him».
The two men went away to make arrange-
ments for the journey. When they had gone, the
daughter sat and watched her father. The dark-
ness deepened and deepened. He lay quiet until
a light shone through the cracks in the door.
The time for departure had come

He took her hand in both of his own and kept

There “was no crowd about the inn to see
their departure. Only one person was to be
seen, and that was Madame ABs who
leaned against the door-post; & , and

seemed to notice nothing.

Silence in the Court
Telleson’s Bank in London was an old-
fashioned place even in 1780. It was very
small, very dark and very ugly, but the owners
were proud of its smallness, its darkness and its
ugliness; they thought that if it looked better, it
would be less respectable. Inside its honourable
walls, the only men to be seen, solemnly car-
rying on its business, were very old; it was be-
lieved that if a young man joined the bank, they
hid him until he was old enough to be seen.
One March morning, one of the oldest of the
clerks in the bank sent for Jerry Cruncher, the
messenger, who usually spent his time sitting
just outside the door.
«Do you know the Court of Justice called the
Old Bailey?» said the old clerk.
«Yes, sir», said Jerry anxiously.

Hg oh«And you know Mr. Lorry?».
«Much better than I know the Old Bailey,
sir.
«Very well. Go to the door-keeper of the
court and show him this note for Mr. Lorry. He
will then let you in. When you are inside, show
yourself to Mr. Lorry and wait until he wants
you».
Jerry took the letter, bowed to the clerk and
set out for the Old Bailey. As he drew near, he
had to make his way through a crowd of dirty
people, all attracted to the place by the coming
trial and hoping to enjoy the pleasure of seeing
the accused man. All the doors were guarded,
but when Jerry showed the letter, one of the
doors was opened to let him in.
«What's the next case?» Jerry asked a man
near him.
«Charles Darnay — the man accused of help-
ing the king's enemies».
Mr. Cruncher saw the door-keeper go to Mr.
Lorry with the note in his hand. Mr. Lorry was
sitting among the lawyers at a table in the
court. One of these lawyers was Mr. Stryver; he
was appearing for Darney, and had a lot of pap-
ers in front of him. Nearly opposite was another

fixed on the ceiling. When Mr. Lorry saw

The entrance of the judge stopped all the

The accused man listened to all this calmly;
but as he did so he looked about the court and
noticed two persons on his left. When his eyes
fell upon them, his appearance was so changed
that the attention of everyone in court was
directed towards them. They were a young lady
of little more than twenty, and a gentleman with
very white hair who was clearly her father. His

44daughter, Lucie, had one of her hands drawn
through the old man’s arm and was looking at
the prisoner with great pity. From the crowd
around him, Jerry learned that they were witnes-
ses against the prisoner.
The Attorney-General rose to open the case
for the Government. «This prisoner», he said,
«is in the habit of travelling between England
and France on business. What this business is
might not have been discovered, but fortunately
an honest mnn, John Barsad, who was at one
time the prisoner's friend, found out, and Roger
Cly, the prisoner’s servant, found papers in the
prisoner’s pockets and in his room. On these
papers were lists of the English armies and their
positions, It cannot be proved that these lists are
written in the prisoner's hand-writing; but, this
shows that the prisoner is a clever man who has
tried in this way to cover up his actions».
First John Barsad gave evidence of these
facts. He was then examined by Mr. Stryver,
who was defending Charles Darnay:
«Have you ever been a spy?»
«Certainly not».
«Have you ever been in prison?».
«No».

so — but they were drunk».
«Are you sure you know the prisoner well?».
«Yes».
«Do you expect to be paid for giving evi-

«Certainly not!»
Roger Cly came next. He said that he had
often seen such lists when arranging the prison-
er’s clothes; he had found them in his room. He
had seen the prisoner show the lists to a Prench-
man at Calais. Questioned by Mr. Stryver, Ro-
ger Cly admitted that he had once been a thief.
Then came Mr. Lorry. He was asked whether
he had seen the prisoner before, and replied that
he had seen him come on board the ship at
Calais.
«At what time did he come on board?».
«At a little after midnight».
«Were you travelling with any companion,
Mr. Lorry?»

«He tried to explain how that quarrel had

George the Third».

she said them. .

52Dr. Manette was then called and asked if he
had seen the prisoner before.
«Once, when he came to see me in London».
«Did he travel with you in the ship?».
«I cannot say».
«Is there any special reason why you cannot?»
«There is».
«Has it been your misfortune to suffer a long
imprisonment, without trial or accusation, in
your own country ?».
«A long imprisonment».
«Were you at that time newly set free?»
«They tell me so».
«But you remember nothing?».
«Nothing between the time when I used to
make shoes in prison, and the time when I
found myself living in London with my dear
jaughter».
A witness was then called who said that he
iad seen the prisoner in a hotel in a town where
here was a shipyard and a soldiers’ camp. The
awyers were trying to prove that he had gone
here to obtain valuable information.
Sydney Carton had all this time seemed to be
aking no notice: he had been just sitting there,

54looking at the ceiling. But now he wrote a few
words on a piece of paper and threw it to Mr.
Stryver. After examining it, Mr. Stryver said to
the witness:
«Are you quite sure that it was the prison-
er?»,
«Quite sure».
«Have you ever seen anyone like the prison-
er?»
«Not so like him that I could be mistaken».
«Look well at that gentleman, my friend
there», said Stryver, pointing to the man who
had thrown him the paper. «Do you think he is
like the prisoner?».
Although his friend was dirty and careless in
his appearance, and was dressed as a lawyer,
everyone in the court could see the likeness and
was very surprised.
«lf a man so like the prisoner could be found
by chance in this court, another man, just as
like him, might chance to be in that hotel», said
Mr. Stryver.
So this witness was valueless.
There were no more witnesses to be heard,
and the lawyers’ last speeches were made. The
judge made his remarks. The twelve jurymen
then left the court to consider their decision.

56Mr, Carton must have noticed more of what
was going on than he appeared to do; for, when
Miss Manette fainted, he was the first to cry
out.
«Officer, help the gentleman to take that
young lady out of the court! Don’t you see that
she will fall?».
The prisoner seemed to be much affec!

GChapter 4
A Strange Look
Outside the court Mr. Charles Darnay was
met by his friends. They were Dr. Manette,
Lucie Manette, Mr. Lorry, Mr. Stryver who had
defended him, and Mr. Carton, the assistant of
Mr. Stryver.
It would have been difficult to recognize in
Dr. Manette the shoemaker of Paris, He
appeared to have completely recovered from his
terrible experience; his face was cheerful; he
stood upright; he looked strong and well. Some-
times, when memories of his imprisonment
came over him, a black cloud seemed to settle
on him. At such times, only his beloved daugh-
ter, Lucie, had the power to drive the dark
cloud away.
Mr. Darnay kissed Miss Manette’s hand
gratefully, and then warmly thanked Mr. Stryv-
er, who said, «I am glad to have saved your life
and honour, Mr. Darnay. It was a wicked
charge against you, but a dangerous one».

60«You saved my life and I shall never forget
it», replied Darnay.
«And now», said Mr.- Lorry, «we have all
had a very tiring day. Miss Lucie looks ill; Mr.
Darnay has a terrible time and we are all worn
out. Let us all go home and sleep».
«You speak for yourself», said Mr. ver.
«I have a night's work in front of me»: t
The Doctor gazed at Darnay and a strang
look came over his face as he did so. It was a
look of dislike and even of fear.
«My father», said Lucie, laying her hatid/o
his, «shall we go home?». +
A carriage was called and the father and daugh-
ter departed in it. Mr. Stryver also went away,
to be followed by Mr. Lorry. Only Darnay and
Carton were left.
He took a long breath and answered «Yes». %
«You look faint, Mr. Darnay», said Carton.
«I feel rather faint», replied Darnay.

62«Then come and drink some wine with me. I
know an inn where the wine is geod».
Soon the two men were seated opposite each
other. 2
«Do you feel that you belong to the world
again?» asked Caiton.
«Yes. I am still confused, but I think I do».
Carton filled a glass with wine and emptied
it.
«That must give you satisfaction», he said.
«As for myself, my great desire is to forget that
belong to it. The world has no good in it for
me, and I am of no good tothe world».
Charles Darney did not know how to answer.
Carton continued, «Miss Manette is a very
beautiful young lady, my friend. What does it
feel like to be pitied for by such a fair young
woman? She did pity you and weep for you; I
saw her myself».
Again Darnay did not answer, but he thanked
him for his assistance at the trial.
«I neither want your thanks nor deserve
them», replied the other. «Mr. Darnay, let me
ask you a question, Do you think I like you?».

«Then bring me some more wine, wine
said Carton; «and come and wake me at ten %y

The bill having been paid, Darnay wished
Carton good night. When he was alone, Carton
rose and looked at himself in a glass that hung
against the wall. He saw in himself a man who
had great powers of mind and a good heart, but
his powers had never been properly used. He
was angry with Darnay because Darnay was so
like him in appearance, but so much above him
in other ways.

66And there was Lucie; the thought of Lucie
filled his heart with hatred for the other man.
He drank more wine, put his head on his arms
and fell asleep. i
After some hours Carton was wakened by the
waiter and took himself to Mr. Stryver’s rooms.
to assist him in the preparation of his cases for
the next day.
Sydney Carton did the work while Stryver sat
in an armchair and watched him. Both of them
made frequent use of a bottle of wine for those
were the days when nearly all men drank heavi-
ly. When Carton had prepared the papers he
passed them to Mr. Stryver. Then they discus-
sed the cases together and drank some more
wine.
«And now we have finished, Sydney», said
Mr. Stryver. «You prepared today’s case very
well. You were very good. Every question had
its effect. You completely defeated those wit-
nesses».
«I am always good, am I not?» replied Car-
ton.
«1 don’t deny it. But what has roughened
your temper? You are always the same. The
same old Sydney Carton that was with me at
school. Now in high spirits, now in despair».

He left the house and went through the cold
sad streets. Reaching his own lodging, he threw
himself down on a neglected bed whose pillows
he had often wetted with wasted tears.
Here was a good man, a clever man; yet he
had never been able to do good to himself or to
find peace.

In the Midnight
One Sunday afternoon, four months after the
trial of Charles Damay, Mr. Jarvis Lorry
walked along the sunny streets. He was on his
way to have dinner with his friend, Dr. Man-
ette. The Doctor occupied two floors of a build-
ing in a quiet London street: there he was able
to earn as much as he needed by receiving the
patients who came to seek his medical advice.
On arriving at the house, Mr. Lorry rang the
door-bell.
«Is Dr. Manette at home?».
«Not yet, sir».
«Is Miss Lucie at home?»
«Not yet, sir».
«Is Miss Pross at home?»
«I’m not sure, sir».
«Well, I’ll go upstairs and wait».

74The Doctor's daughter had made the house
comfortable and attractive, for she had clever
hands and good sense. There were three rooms
on each floor, and the doors between them were
open so that the, air might pass freely through
them all. As he walked from one to another,
Mr. Lorry noticed that in the third room, in a
corner, stood the disused shoemaker’s bench
and the tools that the Doctor once used in the
inn in Paris.
«lam surprised», said Mr, Lorry aloud, «that
he keeps anything to remind him of his suffer-
ings».
«And why are you surprised at that?» said the
sharp voice of Miss Pross, making Mr. Lorry
jump. «How do you do?».
«I am quite well, thank you. And how are
you?»
«I am very anxious about my young lady».
«May I ask the cause?»
«All kinds of unsuitable people keep coming
to see her.
Mr. Lorry knew that Miss Pross was angry
when other people paid attention to Lucie. He
also knew that she was one of those unselfish
women who, through pure love are ready to
make themselves willing slaves to youth when

76they have lost it, to beauty which they have
never had, and to bright hopes that have never
shone upon their own dark lives. He knew that
there is nothing better in the world than the
faithful service of the heart, and he respected
Miss Pross far more than many rich ladies who
had money in Tellson’s Bank.
«Let me ask you a question», he s: S

«I think he is afraid of losing his Vy
again. That would make the subject unpleas

«True».
«Sometimes he gets up in the middle of the
night», went on Miss Pross, «and walks up and
down, up and down, in his room. Then my
young lady goes to him, and they walk up and
down together until he is less disturbed. But he
never says a word of the cause of his restless-
ness to her».
At this, the street began to echo with the
sound of feet.

78«Here they are!» said Miss Pross.
Miss Pross was a pleasant sight as she took
off her beloved Lucie’s coat and hat and
smoothed her rich hair. Lucie was a pleasant
sight, too, and*thanked her; and the Doctor
smiled as he said that Miss Pross spoilt his
daughter by being too kind to her.
After dinner they went out and sat in the gar-
den. While they were there, Mr. Darnay arrived
to see them and was kindly received by Dr.
Manette and Lucie, though Miss Pross looked
rather angry and left them.
As they sat and talked, the conversation
turned to the subject of the old buildings of
London.
«Have you seen much of the Tower of Lon-
don?» said Mr. Darnay to the Doctor, in the
course of this conversation.
«Lucie and I have been there. We have seen
enough of it to know that it is very interesting».
«I have been there, as you know», said Dar-
nay, «I was there when I was being tried as an
enemy of the king; so I was not able to see
much of it. They told me a curious thing when
I was there».
«What was that?» Lucie asked.

80«In making some repairs, some workmen
found an old forgotten room. The walls of it
were covered with dates, names, prayers and
such things written by the old prisoners. One of
the words so written was DIG. As a result, the
floor underneath was examined carefully; and
there under a stone were found the ashes of
some paper and the remains of a leather bag.
What the unknown prisoner had written will
never be read, but he had written something».
«Father!» cried Lucie. «Are you ill?»
Dr. Manette had suddenly jumped up with his
hand to his head. His look frightened them all.
«No, my dear, not ill. There are large drops
of rain falling and they made me jump. We had
better go in».
He recovered almost immediately. Rain was
really falling and he showed the back of his
hand with drops on it. Mr. Lorry thought he
saw on the Doctor’s face when his eyes rested
upon Darnay the same strange look that had
been upon it when he saw him outside the
court.
At tea-time, Mr. Carton called. He stood
leaning against the window, while the others sat
near it watching the rain falling outside.
