Miss Pross is my sisterMiss Pross is my sisterBarsad had more problems than Carton knewDiamond Core Bits. He could not return to England because he was wanted by the police there. And in France, before he became a prison guard for the citizens'revolution, he had been a spy for the King's officers. He knew that Madame Defarge, that terrible woman, had knitted his name into her list of enemies of the people. Most of those on her list had already been killed by the Guillotine, and Barsad did not want to be next.
'You seem worried, Mr Barsad, 'said Carton calmly.The spy turned to Mr Lorry. 'Miss Pross is my sister, sir. Would you send her brother to his death, sir? '
'The best thing for your sister, Mr Barsad, 'said Carton smoothly, 'is not to have a brother like you. I think I will inform. the Tribunal that I suspect you of spying for England. You will be condemned at once, I am sure. '
'All right, 'Barsad said slowly, 'I'll help you. But don't ask me to do anything that will put my life in danger, because I won't do it. ''You're a guard at the Conciergerie prison,Travel qingdao, where Darnay is, aren't you? 'said Carton. 'Come, let us talk privately in the next room. '
When Mr Carton returned alone, Mr Lorry asked what he hsd done.
'Not much, 'replied Carton, 'but if it goes badlyDiamond Core Bitsfor Darnay tomorrow, I can visit him once. It's all I could do. '
'But that will not save him, 'cried Mr Lorry sadly.
'I never said it would. 'Mr Lorry was an old man now, with a life of hard work behind him. Tears filled his eyes as he realized he could do nothing to help Lucie and her father now.
Sydney Carton felt very sorry for Mr Lorry. 'You're a good friend of Dr Manette and his daughter, but don't tell them about me or this meeting. It can't help Lucie. 'He paused. 'Will you go back to London soon? '
'Yes, my work for Tellson's Bank here is finished. I have the necessary papers to leave Paris. I was ready to go tomorrow. '
'Then don't change your plans, 'said Carton, very seriously.Later that night Sydney Carton visited a shop in a quiet corner of Paris. He wrote on a piece of paper the names of several powders and gave it to the shopkeeper.
'For you, citizen? 'asked the shopkeeper.
'Yes, for me. '
'You must be careful, citizen Keep these things separate. You know what happens if you put them together. '
'Perfectly, 'replied Carton.He spent the rest of that night walking the streets of ParisDiamond Core Bits. He watched the moon rise in the sky, he listened to the sounds of the River Seine flowing through the heart of the city, and he thought calmly about the past, and the future. He thought about all the deaths that the city had already seen…and he thought about Lucie's gentle, loving face and her sad, sad eyes.#x相关的主题文章：
