Synopsis OF a Tale of Two Cities"
In the year seyenteen-hundred sew
enty-fve Mr.. Lorry clerk Of Tellson's
Bank of England was travelling from
Paris TO London. With him were Doc
tor Manette who had been for many
years secretly and unjustly imprison
ed in Paris, and his daughter Lucie.
The Doctor had been so long dead to
the world that his mind had become
a blank and that the message telling
of his release read, Recalled to life.
Five years later the Doctor, again in
his right mind, was living happily with
his daughter in London, when Charles
Darnay, a Frenchman by birth, was
tried in the court of England for treas 4:
on. Doctor Manette and Lucie were |
witnesses at the trial, but the innocent /;
Darnay was saved from hanging only {
by the testimony of Sydney Carton, a /
n'er.do-well who bore most striking
resemblance to Darnay Later Charles
and Lucie were married and received c
frequent visits from Carton. Deep .
down in his heart Carton was a real {
man, and from there sprang a pro- v
found love and admiration for Lucie, II
which caused him TO promise her, on S
one OF his visits, that although he
knew her heart was wholly another's,
IL there should ever be need of it he
would gladly lay down his life for a
life she loved.
Then came the terrible day of the 6
French Revolution when Darnay, leav- h
ing his wife in England with her T
father, risked his life in France for the a.
sake of one of his countrymen. The r
Revolutionists imprisoned him because
be was a marquis born and so was n
suspected and hated by them. Doctor :,
Manette and Lueie came to Paris and, ;,
after years of waiting, the Doctor sue
,eeded in getting Charles released, u
,nly to be again imprisoned and SEN :,
enced to death on the guillotine. This n,
ime the Doctors efforts were futile,
md no hope for Charles life remain
ID. But Carton was living true to his
'ow, and when he heard of the SEN
ence he hastened to Darnay's pris- v
IN, changed clothing with him, and set
)arnay forth free man while he RI
himself few days later went to the
,uillotine and in this way kept his ri
romise to Lucie, and rejoiced to think
hat he was doing far better deed
han he had ever before done in his
fe. A,
