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 9 Js! jail pl pu 23 JUBY Ge Vk Gd tb gol vob ob de pee pl Os EN Slay tt Latah el Weg o& d ply dea Sos dele LJUbY eyes aS RLY Qs gl tele ely Geb bt!

Some 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».

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 direction so.as to call his attention to som! - ple who had just come into the inn + The inn-keeper, consequently, around to see an old gentleman and a youn® Jadyswho were sitting in a corner. and whom he eV er seen before. He noticed that the old sian 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. 2 13 TAS AUG eS gL fos LU Je ane Gis ray choy WLI Je La Ji edyS lar GIS CS IM Sage Col fe ealelSa aged doe bess be ae Gail D gules seal oi ile) dyes Ga) tly cite kl ble ld ane pies yi pL) Ga UI sale] ca os tb cl pay dail Shey, Ugo lew Siri walpaper of dae aay cash G Olde Ce ye LA dae ryh alsy GLU ete als] ie jy fy ale, ys ties Hern glee dels oO Lathe Glare) Olde pate lala a t, vilabyel Vth bey JS] Yee clay ccmeyall deed Y ob bie tani Lgl Ye Oy py [pls BW polis A prada!

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. 15 Syphon gan AAI JS hi ay sqlite! shee Aba So eM fel Jl te gh at OL! gab CHU SU ball oe Gas he Le MULE. tl cea ply ape pebl plate, «ptt gst igalee ott tee Via ie relS Dj pay IU Jet du el EWI aati db pp abla ay gS ela a Pads ol tal tLe Ope ‘elie Ue AES eld vlad peal] cul) dh Sew eulie Bed cal Upltst Qe) GAlll Gd Oya gl GA edaledt tela Ay pSeat gay Saige be Up Suet ee a LN tod shell ge Spee Jel pa Miyano Hl Lada 14 The 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.

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. 21 Das ab as jen cebu pst GUS of BT ety SAU bs ath aly, WS jel Deageig CALES Shh, LG, tle cy wile gis eT Ke lie fon htad so) doll dy OSS feat dud Nia Gg .ySen tule gids vel cro lel be ER ds eRe LEM ole this Se te bay ag flee gp Hell Said tow be ee ols wid gh ge OU oy by il OL Le ee wlgers de pe OS Geer Gli cor [eh esl Hele Gs ine b a Ht Ieee gil dol th hil, 6 5 Mla ty Wis SIS ley Lyell clit Yo alc ds ile Ayan Ge Uf Spit SIE ce BE Hel Osa BWI Se pls a yd yd el Jo oly dasa!

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, 23 ig ylbs Ju vibe Jor bal YI Gt GS sty vials Of Iplye of Og go Soll dy ‘colts Ald ues ee Gop atl ols ca etl ce ASU pal sls tell ppb fa pee ls gpASi| EL epee UL CUZ UB ell eal le collab ge daa ba Gl. gel b o ge lall Gb pattll aby wlSy OUI le englig qilie Ge poy Jel UL es eke oul eis Jeg est ° peel sls bl ULE pe vet wi dell rdlly BY! ay Gog) ddl cel vi geal egeale isle Be ay CNB snide: aa ult setae il Ja fond 5 Ua tegilly ge ee Ua iy Jel OA Yay caer dye Leal eld poy 22 where a white-haired man sat on a coach, bent forward, his back turned towards the door and his face towards the window.

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. . 27 GW eal 4Jod le Sp goed ae ALI SI be yy cule tell Ul thaw ler idler Peake Sys lly tal Gaal CAEN ait! tga gle 2 tell fae ody & atl sot Say «ge Cae dy Gl te Gee LS ath!

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.

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. 33 aay) dad Je ale df cake Ged pS) ga es ply oS bel vashys ge lay call GSD cle Mel oy eid iS Je lll bat orhat oi Ling fell pally Gea ae pd. Vad nels!

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». 35 tel ekSpeute sleteld SIS! gules telly gos! 4-H Sa Y hs YoY cba Y dla wtf thal Le Elie sp open SS gt Gey el ay Sel Ge tet echt Ys OW Sol Of gobo ol oS Yl Ob oy yl OF gealy othe gil ye Ue gheel Ls be S,oh af gSliy gl « chile ails Layne SI oly del pate Uy> ysl domes Le ge ede alot gal ad ALLL Son dl Spat gal 4 Sal schily oul J oS LAS] it ugh eke dy Le!

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 As one long accustomed to being ordered, he ate and drank what they gave him, readily put 37 ipl ee te I ‘le ea ey gd «Gall ole Gk GSI ats de Jl oad] SL ‘gale Ju ole eee) ai ge ide LY eee Lee witlaley dye etl fa LE Gut 0% af Gog tel du SHUN UL foal je tt OIE Hy all» US ey pile peg LY osu SUL fist bate geet pS gg cit. be USA 3} wal tly cae Obl Ga] uae shy ts st pA le tame cede had bey dey opt Gad ode J) ed Vay ge Lie Bb ep Lally Gils EY UI Gye IIE tpl deg Gy a edd EL pty Jt hls O96 of obeel nS 36 on the clothes they had brought for him, and went with them.

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. 41 cS pal yA OAS Gy Ay OWS VAs hl ice Se Spry Ip abnnel 26) slengiy bss Laie OK) LWa ot Jat ols 4) al lyamel aby leedy LSlay opel dhey spe GF Vda wlyie Jol Ligeti ob fae gh ah, shed ole iy Wy JS yew oll «pyar we ag cols gh YJ ees is pall aol eal OM et ge chee OS wl gb Like dy Jr pat GU OAS ger el iW Jliy waG gail ly lee!

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.

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.

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.

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?» 49 Sgspall ae GY eal Nb Te sl GEV we ENE Saag! of 4 je fea Isls gS - GUS WWE bs Gy] od GS ols (eo APTS Gund Gye Sut ashe Sct pea stil af dale ade Yo Ete a5 ol is fae Yelle ale fee oy EL WE al J IS ayy the 6 ee f Lal Ledey diy coped OL Gig ke calylll wh de als J Lag Sey be ctl hs wis GL GIS sayy pel pe dell apr Leste. all lll Lad ots ce ell chy Ab OI BY Le Je gad all Jl wells bee ee de oy wh eb te giell oza dL ut geo vt febts fail Ciara da wtf Gog) de by Dye Je sel il) Jo 48 «With two companions.

He added jokingly that George Washington might be as famous in history as George the Third». The judge looked up from his notes in asto- nished anger at these words, and all the people in court noticed the anxiety of the witness as she said them. . 53 uf Clg! oka ets Gyst Isls fo adh yl a be Geld Sls Gly Gant 18 ced WS bale coppil Aaa) ade ace aga Lay (aby Leb os saad] HLL yl aaist Y of pla SL sual!

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, 55 hy 2G ols BE fey Sol ysl pant ie foot deni 00) dol He oe bp ol ALA tae sl a adil of ciel Yo oaG legs Se pee tela cp age gre EB gt eile AUT lies tye ga Jo waa Go plel sf dasbe gt oye tab Cae te wate) 5 Gb cht Gab] abst AU, Gael aida oe Sis Y Sly dU ee Gs outed gl tll oy ge Yo Bal et Od get Lek tee pl tally srt tippll 65 3b Gest ch at de cl dale pe deal of vp Say gill Gey ed dry Bebe card Sea J) cad ob Iya of Oyllt dysbel ats stad layer Ue OS tad hack f alsy idl Ib Oy IS Gam by 54 looking 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. 57 cae OV oS aN tf ey ad tte Le cpg deall Gl slay Gayl! gt tales Je OLAS pol py pes ell Uc gaan Le Scat ah ashe cil jee ole asta ep ety Lake cal) of Gee oa calle OS!

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». 61 els pail iy 2 i pay Sell ole aitel gol ls aA ell pepe A od A Ce oe weg 5 eS . pe fe Sell dels OS IS tly care cil os gill gale yr cole aS!

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. 63 ay salely Shyb Lats det toll op) Iiay ge dat ain: gol wk! a eH Ler Wal ol OV rs Bayt aad de epee edgy yh Jo Galo eelly aay gt ey VG Hey Sold] Gad wh wale tape doll DE wt Jee gl EB HL pe pls cuts i tg UB ery Je uy le J opal le de Ub py lls fede fe ay eth ty ey) Sli tS Sp ad fe syla cagel mp WIS uly ON YS oy tye creat “dy Ge Ge by ga delle Geld Ga Og Is JE style dee Lets ass tyke ere ideally Gall atl Gla 62 «Then come and drink some wine with me.

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?». 65 3 ba Gel bb OL ae Ge oie te Le cae leet ULE Oe ale US ey ros JL Taw did Nie JI ges Gb att fan sally sel gest cb las eI LG bt a idl al Oat Lis agyis BPG UE etl ayatll ther of LU as Wa Gd Vall eal ul At of 2.50 gual wd Le ced Gly dba TO gIIS wily ee ES lo GUL Gi J opel lie yal + giao Lo dhe te Gob iV ad) HY Sy thle cael ad PALO ode ca LIL tues lal ell ol) Gell 962 oS 6 ob os d cpl ip » Sted 2eY dle MULE gee Gale dee aie Vy AS a EY bt Shel gil aes pe NE 64 «Really, Mr. Carton, I haven’t thought of it». «Well, think of it now». «You have acted as if you like me, but I don’t think you do». «And J don’t think I do, either». «Yet», said Damay, «there is nit Ee, - vent our parting in a friendly manner. pay the bill». «Certainly», said Carton. «Do you,wish to . pay for both of us?». ve) «Yes, I do», answered Darnay. q «Then bring me some more wine, wine said Carton; «and come and wake me at ten %y o'clock». 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. 67 eM Sd Og A bail da WoW aL S bey HL weed Y gS oe alt J Ls ci ads is ctlaat ctthiy acl ut Vy Gola Ju 83, dee Gl Oy Jt Lb the 2 dan ltl gal geo ross di APES oe abt fag a SLy gal abl on wt hile fete + Ogls Si J ghey Gaal GI Ot ye ally peel wai aS) dell Latcey 3.

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.

Reaching his own lodging, he threw himself down on a neglected bed whose pillows he had often wetted with wasted tears.

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». 75 lt fail SS Sle ye tl et te el py eb ae cheetll ¢ sIytl Stee Sag) ble tell ots cgiste FSH OS Col pS ee e slaall yl) aa b d tke oad Gf agala galt Godly G oye Jay Gul fo] Oye cell pb pal) hited ge elt b OS ols Ah tle ye al, wl ee gag tell Ss cdl Ul yey sal wed Geile yy Sall fay ne Sead J eed LEW Yona Hegde ct eat da Goel Gd uy LM oa MSdee & laste cody waht, Jail Jp dale shies 74 The 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 7 ME ss ged ald Ley Coll ysl al Glee SH ye De Glb JS OS Lady liydy cope Unt We yt of ely gS tee cles les lp Wy ie de de sel UL Oe oe tt OF la ape pike dab isis dy WI BAG aes woot gays Jb Gail 2 oySal Gree olf gil Baba a ai sual tule Spe oy 4d! de elas a Sy eget JS dase GY ¢ pada la Veer rt iW CIE ce SUS ge gts cal Ith a WT GSe fe Boyd 4 ee gil WLI fale wisy LSD ose ole Wi eeall Goa Je Tali Gla tell ge ULI of ye ae thy) Osh GaP ne Gl!

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 the Doctor, in talking to Lucie, never the shoemaking time?» «Never». never mention it?». «I think he is afraid of losing his Vy again. That would make the subject unpleas to him». «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».

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. 81 ctl Laps yy SiH oN Veads ged ee lel ce EE ey aw cls leh Rts Abb Gey) Cals UWS sleet Je by Gib) lp yS en] Sandl yy GEM oF Jy pS) at » lgae Shea WglS leuy tab!

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. 83 dead G2 dha!) dey cba! joey lal ter bel y cc plally My alah Abas (lt oie ctrl CAS CS gil bel gate] ela! eLel beas pe HF hay bbe, Je Gill! 2 WU des, Le dels OGL oS Jy cdale deiey Ghyl Le Cars tt CaS OS) yntl 2S olga cat fe th eed eet pe opps eT aby aly Ue oy tld Cl Sl Gage eset gle lay il bY Le oS gb apes ot Lai oe Gael ey pd abl By Sh LiL ols jbl, WLI dbs sey doh sl soy ll tice] pall oy Clb dey Bll ae Hk Golo A fe okie eel Late 5 Sl Soll Gilt IS Latte 43 ul, de IS] ogsls api gel oll Cay Oe te BLA Al Opal tee OSU! ple ep LL! qt 82
