On the day when Charles Darnay was at last called for his trial,christmas decoration Lucie and Dr Manette hurried to Tellson's Bank to tell Mr Lorry. As they arrived, a man got up and disappeared into another room. They did not see who it was, but in fact it was Sydney Carton, just arrived from London.
There were five judges in the Tribunal, and the trials were short and simple. The voices of truth, honesty, and calm reason were never heard at these trials, and most of the prisoners were sent to the Guillotine,#x which pleased the noisy crowds. Fifteen prisoners were called before Darnay that day, and in no more than an hour and a half, all of them had been condemned to death.
'Charles Evrémonde, who is called Darnay. '
As Darnay walked in front of the judges, he tried to remember the careful advice that Dr Manette had given him.
'Charles Evrémonde, you are an emigrant. All emigrants must die. That is the new law of France. '
'Kill him!'shouted the people. 'Cut off his head!He's an enemy of the people!'
The President of the judges asked Darnay,ATM Parts, 'Is it true that you lived many years in England? '
'Yes, that is true, 'replied Darnay.
So you are an emigrant, surely. '
'No, not in the meaning of the law, 'replied Darnay. christmas decoration'I earn my own living in England. I have never wanted or used the name of Marquis, and I did not want to live by the work of the poor people of France. So I went to live and work in England, long before the Revolution. '
'And did you marry in England? '
'Yes, I married a Frenchwoman. The daughter of Dr Manette, a prisoner of the Bastille and a well-known friend of all good citizens!'
These words had a happy effect on the crowd. #xThose who had shouted for his death now shouted for his life. Then Monsieur Gabelle and Dr Manette spoke for Charles Darnay. The Doctor spoke well and clearly, and was very popular with the crowd. When he had finished, the judges decided that the prisoner should be set free, and the crowd shouted their agreement loudly. Soon they were carrying Darnay in a chair through the streets of Paris to Dr Manette's house. Lucie was waiting there, and when she ran out and fell into the arms of her husband, the men and women in the crowd kissed one another and danced for happiness Darnay and Lucie were together again, safe and happy.
'I told you that I would save him, 'said Lucie's father proudly.christmas decoration 'Well, I have saved him, and you must not worry now. '
But Lucie was still worried. So many innocent men and women had died, for no reason, and every day brought more deaths. A shadow of fear and hate lay over France, and no one knew what dangers the next day would bring.
