The horses were frightened and stopped. A tall man had picked doctor, and he, Lucie, and Miss Pross seemed at first sight something up from under the feet of the horses and was crying Miss Pross led a quiet, a very alarming person.

In the 5 villages nearby the hungry people dreamt of a better life, with Two men speak of love enough good food to eat, and time to rest from their work.

Early in the morning the dreamers awoke and started their Twelve months after the death of the Marquis in France, day's hard work. The people in the castle did not get up until Charles Darnay had become a successful teacher of French in later, but when they did, why did the great bell start ringing?

He had known, when he came to London, that he Why did people run out of the castle to the village as fast as would have to work hard to earn his living, and he was they could?

He was also in love. He had loved Lucie Manette from the time when his life was in danger in the Old Bailey. He had never heard a sound so sweet as her gentle voice; he had never seen a face so beautiful as hers. But he had never spoken to her about his love. The death of his uncle in France had become, over the twelve months, like a dream to him, but he had said nothing to Lucie of his feelings, nor of what had happened.

He had good reason for this. But one day in the summer he carne to Dr Manette's borne in London. He knew that Lucie was out with Miss Pross, and he had decided to speak to her father.

The two of you will never be separated because of father, pale and silent, busy at his old prison work of making me. The shadow of the Bastille had fallen on him again. She For a moment Dr Manette turned his head away, and his took his arm and spoke gently to him, and together they eyes were full of fea.

Then he looked back at walked up and down for a long time until at last Dr Manette Damay, and tried to smile. Tou have spoken very honestly, Charles,' he said.

A promise that if Lucie ever tells you that she received by Lucie. She had always been a little shy with him, loves me, you will not speak against me, and will tell her what but on that day she noticed something different in his face.

I have said. If Lucie ever good for my health. My name in England is not my real name. I too late for that. I shall never be better than I am. But, want to tell you what my real name is, and why I am in Miss Manette, there is something that I want to say to you, but England. Will you listen to me? Tell me when I ask you. If Lucie you,' said Lucie, but she was pale and trembling.

Try again to change. Can change now. But tell me that you will never speak of what I I not help you? No one will and destroy your life. But it has been a last dream of my heart. I shall never speak of this again. Lucie had never heard Mr Carton speak like this before.

But you should know that for you, or for anyone close to you, I would do anything. Please remember always, that there is a man who would give his life to keep someone you love alive and close to you. Goodbye, Miss Manette. Inside, the Doctor and Mr Darnay had been talking together for a long time.

Soon it would be time to leave for the church. Lucie looked very beautiful, and Mr Lorry watched her proudly. He talked about the day, so long ago, when he had brought Lucie, as a baby in his arms, from France to England.

Miss Pross, too, had It has been a last dream of my heart. Mr Lorry sat with him night and day, talking gently to seen him since then, but she still loved him. The Doctor's face was white, but he was calm. He took his daughter's arco and they went out to the waiting coach.

Alter the marriage Lucie and Charles carne back to the house for breakfast, and then Lucie had to say goodbye to her father for two weeks — the first time they had not been together since his return from Paris. A little sadness was natural, but there was a lost, frightened look in the Doctor's eyes, which worried Mr Lorry very much. When he left to go to Tellson's Bank, he whispered to Miss Pross that he would return as quickly as he could.

Two hours later he hurried back to the house, and Miss Pross met him at the door. Look at me. Don't you remember me? Then at last, on the tenth moming, the shoemaking work Once again, he was a prisoner in the Bastille, without friends was put away, and Dr Alexandre Manette, pale but calm, was or family, without even a name of his own. Lucie was never told, and in the quiet and For nine days and nine nights the shoemaker worked on, happy years that followed her marriage, Dr Manette remained leaving his table only to sleep, eat, or walk up and down his strong in mirad and body.

He ran away, Stormy years in France but that night the Marquis was murdered. Gaspard disappeared and was only caught a few weeks ago. The soldiers brought In Monsieur Defarge's wine-shop in Saint Antoine customers him into the village and hanged him. And they have left his carne and went all the time. They carne to drink the thin, rough body hanging in the village square, where the women go to wine, but more often they carne to listen and to talk, and to fetch water, and our children play.

One day there were more customers than usual. Defarge had been away for three days, and when he returned that morning, he brought a stranger with him, a man who repaired roads. Give him something to drink.

The man who repaired roads sat down and drank. A third man got up and went out. The three men who had left the wine-shop were 4 friends, 'What do you say? Shall we put their names on the waiting. Defarge spoke to them. The castle and all of the family of Jacques Three. But more than that, every name is carefully knitted looked over to the door.

Nothing can be forgotten. That's not from his friend 'Jacques' in the police. I am Ernest Defarge. His name is all the same,' said the spy easily. He's English. Do we know? Tll put him on the list tomorrow. But They're in England now. And sad. Not to an Englishman, but to a takes time to prepare for change. The crimes against the Frenchman It's quite interesting when you remember poor people of France cannot be revenged in a day.

He's help it to come. When the The next day a stranger carne into the wine-shop. At once, spy had gone, he said to his wife, 'Can it be true? If it is, I hope Madame Defarge picked up a rose from the table and put it in that Miss Manette keeps her husband away from France.

As soon as they saw this, the customers stopped Who knows what will happen? Yes, I know who you are, Mr John Barsad. The people are so poor. It began one summer day in the streets of Saint Antoine, around Defarge's wine-shop, with a great crowd of people. A crowd who carried guns, knives, sticks, even stones — anything that could be a weapon. An angry crowd who shouted and screamed, who were ready to fight and to die in battle.

Triends and citizens! We are ready! To the Bastille! A long sharp knife shone brightly in her hand. We can kill as well as any man! Fire and smoke climbed up the high stone walls and the thunder of the guns echoed through the city.

Four terrible and violent hours. Then a white flag appeared aboye the walls and the gates were opened. The Bastille had been taken by the people of Paris! Soon the crowds were inside the building itself, and shouting 'Free the prisoners! It was a small room, with dark stone walls and only one very small window, too high for anyone to look out. Defarge Soon the hated prison was ringing with the noise of battle.

It was very dark that night and the wind was strong. Alexandre Manette,' said Defarge softly. But soon the castle itself could be seen in the dark sky. Monsieur Gabelle called loudly for help, but the places. The Bastille and its where the Marquis had lived. It was the fourteenth of July, Everything was old and tired The troubles in France continued. The citizens of France had and broken down — the people, the land, the houses, the fought to win power, and now they used it.

Castles were animals. In the past everything and everybody had had to burned, laws were changed, and the rich and powerful nobles work for the Marquis, and he had given nothing in return. In Paris the King was put in prison, and in strangers who were poor, like the people, but who talked the people of France sent him to the Guillotine as well.

The about new ideas — ideas which had started in Paris and were French Revolution was now three years old, but there were now running like fire across the country. The road-mender, who had brought the news of Gaspard to Not all the rich nobles had died.

Some had escaped to Paris, still worked repairing the roads. One day a stranger England; some had even sent or brought their money to carne to him as he worked on the road outside the village.

London before the Revolution began. He shook the road-mender's which the French emigrants used, had become a meeting- hand, and turned to look at the Marquis's castle on the hill.

Since bis uncle's death, this was Darnay's real name. Dr Manette had continued in good health, and On the morning of his wedding to Lucie he had told Dr at the centre of that warm family circle was always Lucie — a Manette, but the Doctor had made him promise to keep bis loving daughter, wife, mother, and a kind-hearted friend. Not even Lucie or Mr Lorry knew. Even Sydney Canon, though his old, bad ways were unchanged, We can't find this Marquis,' said the clerk.

The weather is not good, the roads are bad, think of your age,' he said. But that's exactly why I must go. I have the experience, I know the business. My work is to find and hide papers that might be dangerous to our customers. And anyway, Jerry Cruncher goes with me. He'll take good care of my old bones. You must not go. Your life is here, with your family.

But you are, and I'm worried about you. It bad and every town, every village had its citizens with guns was from Monsieur Gabelle, who had been arrested and taken who stopped all travellers, asked them questions, looked at to Paris. And it was all done in the I am in prison, and I may lose my life, because I worked for name of freedom — the new Freedom of France. You told me to work for Damay soon realized that he could not turra back until he the people and not against them, and I have done this.

But had reached Paris and proved himself to be a good citizen, not no one believes me. They say only that I worked for an an enemy of the people. Oh Monsieur, please On his third night in France he was woken by an official and help me, I beg you!

This cry for help made Darnay very unhappy. But now Gabelle was in prison, just because he was Darnay could only obey and at three o'clock in the morning employed by a nobleman. It was clear to Damay that he must he left with three soldiers to guard him. Even with them he was go to Paris.
