By
Charles Dickens
It is the year 1775, and
England and France are undergoing a period of social violent disturbance and turmoil. Lucie Manette is a young woman who has been raised as an orphan and a ward (
، ) اof Tellson's bank. She learns that her father is alive and has recently been released from prison after eighteen years of unjust imprisonment. She travels to the French suburb of Saint Antoine with Mr.
Jarvis Lorry. Mr. Lorry is a longtime Tellson's employee and had managed her father's affairs before his imprisonment. They find her father at the home of
Ernest Defarge, who has housed the doctor since his release. Though her father is on the brink of insanity, she solemnly vows that she will recover him.
The family returns to London. After time, the doctor begins to recover and resumes his practice. Though, he occasionally returns back to his trance-like state, he slowly returns to himself. Throughout the process, he and Lucie become extremely close.
After a period of five years, Lucie and her father are called to testify in the trial of Charles Darnay. Charles Darnay is a French citizen and London resident and has been accused of treason against England. Lucie reluctantly gives circumstantial evidence against Darnay. However, Darnay is ultimately saved when a witness cannot positively indentify Darnay because of his striking resemblance with Sydney Carton, a lawyer in the court. Darnay is ultimately freed, and this circumstance draws everyone involved closer together. Darnay, along with Mr. Lorry, becomes a friend of the family, and Sydney Carton becomes a regular visitor. Sydney is not welcome one--he is frequently drunk, often ill humour and vulgar in his manner. Though the others complain of
Carton's manner, one evening he told Lucie that she has awakened feelings in him. She asks if she can help him, and he says no, but that he wants her to know that he cares for her deeply. Lucie eventually marries Darnay.
