Tellson's Bank in Paris was in a largeConcrete Blade building south of the river, close to the heart of the city. Mr Lorry had arrived in Paris some days before Charles Darnay, and was now living in some rooms above the bank. One evening, looking out of the window, he saw that a large grindstone had been brought into the square below. There was a wild, shouting crowd around it, busy sharpening their knives and swords and axes, which were already red with blood. With shaking hands, Mr Lorry closed the window.
He had decided to go downstairs and talk to the bank guards, when suddenly the door of his room opened, and Lucie and her father ran in.
'Lucie！Manette！What has happened? Why are you here? ' cried Mr Lorry.
'Charles is in Paris, 'cried Lucie. #x'He came to help an old family servant. But he's been taken to prison. '
At that moment the shouts of the crowd outside grew louder.
'What is that noise? 'asked the Doctor.
'Don't look out！'cried Mr Lorry.
'My friend, 'said the Doctor. 'I am safe in Paris. I was a prisoner in the Bastille. Every body knows about me and how I suffered. Already people want to help me；they gave us news of Charles. '
'Even so, don't look outside. Where is Charles? '
'In the prison of La Force. '
'La Force！Dear Lucie, you can do nothing tonightConcrete Blade. You must go to one of the rooms here and wait. I must told with your father at once. '
Lucie kissed him and left the room.
'Quick, Manette, 'said Mr Lorry. 'These people outside,Mold, with their bloody knives, are murdering the prisoners. If you are so well known, if you have this power, talk to them. Tell them who you are, and go to La Force. Quick, before it is too late！'
Dr Manette hurried outside. Mr Lorry watched from the window as the Doctor talked to the crowd. He heard shouts of 'Long live the Bastille prisoner！Help his friend in La Force！'
Mr Lorry went to Lucie #xand found her with her daughter and Miss Pross. Together they waited all night for news, but none came.
In the morning Mr Lorry found rooms for Lucie and her family in a quiet street near the bank. He left Jerry Cruncher with them as a guard, and returned worriedly to Tellson's. At the end of the day a strong,Concrete Blade serious man came to see him.
