A Tale of Two Cities Charles D

Features A Tale of Two Cities Charles D

In 1775, a man flags down the nightly mail-coach on its route from London to Dover.
The man is Jerry Cruncher, an employee of Tellsons Bank in London; he carries a message for Jarvis Lorry, a passenger and one of the banks managers.
Lorry sends Jerry back to deliver a cryptic response to the bank: "Recalled to Life." The message refers to Alexandre Manette, a French physician who has been released from the Bastille after an 18-year imprisonment.
Once Lorry arrives in Dover, he meets with Dr.
Manettes daughter Lucie and her governess, Miss Pross.
Lucie has believed her father to be dead, and faints at the news that he is alive; Lorry takes her to France to reunite with her father.In the Paris neighbourhood of Saint Antoine, Dr.
Manette has been given lodgings by his former servant Ernest Defarge and his wife Therese, owners of a wine shop.
Lorry and Lucie find him in a small garret, where he spends much of his time making shoes – a skill he learned in prison – which he uses to distract himself from his thoughts and which has become an obsession for him.
He does not recognise Lucie at first but does eventually see the resemblance to her mother through her blue eyes and long golden hair, a strand of which he found on his sleeve when he was imprisoned.
Lorry and Lucie take him back to England..
