     "Hah! Evremonde has an assignation elsewhere. Lucie, her child. English. This is she?"

     She and no other.

     "Kiss me, child of Evremonde. Now, thou hast kissed a good Republican; something new in thy family; remember it! Sydney Carton. Advocate. English. Which is he?"

     He lies here, in this corner of the carriage. He, too, is pointed out.

     "Apparently the English advocate is in a swoon?"

 

     It is hoped he will recover in the fresher air. It is represented that he is not in strong health, and has separated sadly from a friend who is under the displeasure of the Republic.

     "Is that all? It is not a great deal, that! Many are under the displeasure of the Republic, and must look out at the little window. Jarvis Lorry. Banker. English. Which is he?"

     "I am he. Necessarily, being the last."
