Darnay is now a tutor, which is a professor for us, and has become very popular because even the Princes and Kings were not as well knowledgeable as he. He also never let any of this go to his head. He loves Lucie but hasn't told her yet. Darnay tells Dr. Manette he loves Lucie, but why does Dr. Manette cry when Darnay says "You have loved yourself; let your old love speak for you"? Dr. Manette approves of Darnay and Darnay promised that if he were to win Lucie's love he would tell the Doctor his real name and why he was in England on the morning of their wedding day. When Lucie got home her father must have been remembering his jail time again for Lucie had to pace the room with her father once again.
Stryver and Sydney are talking and Stryver is being arrogant and saying he is pretty much better than Sydney. Stryver wants to marry Lucie. Stryver is telling Sydney how Sydney hardly has any money which is ironic because Stryver wouldn't have any money if it weren't for Syndney.
Stryver wants to tell Lucie of his love for her before he goes on vacation....where and why the vacation? Stryver is going to Lucie to tell her, but first he stops at the bank to see Mr. Lorry and tells him that he is going to ask Lucie to marry him. I don't much understand what Mr. Lorry is trying to tell Stryver, but what I get of it, is that it means Mr. Lorry doesn't think Stryver is good enough for her? What does Stryver mean when he says, "And now my way out of this, is, to put you all in the wrong."? It shows Stryver really doesn't love Lucie because he forgets about Lorry helping him out. Stryver is informed not to ask her from Lorry because she must not have been interested, which he seemed to take well until Lorry left and he was "winking at the ceiling" making me think his "love" for her is not over that easily.
Carton still loves Luce and drops by and talks to her and starts crying. He says "I shall never be better than I am. I shall sink lower, and be worse." This shows us that he is depressed and maybe wants her to feel bad for him. He tells her he loves her but to keep it a secret from everyone, even her father and she respects his wishes. He also tells her he would do anything for her or her family.
Jerry Cruncher watches the crowd and notices that there was a funeral passing by and his son gets excited and Jerry gets mad at him for it, so we know he has to do something when someone dies. The person who has died was Roger Cly, said to be a spy. After the funeral does the mob go tear stuff down? I don't understand the paragraph on page 146 beginning with "And mind you..." and ending with "you know." Cruncher than goes out in the night by himself with young Jerry following secretly. Cruncher picked up two other guys and then jumped over a gate with young Jerry still following. Young Jerry saw that the "fishing" they were doing, was digging up a grave and got scared and ran home. Mrs. Cruncher must have done something to Jerry Cruncher because he was yelling at her and almost physically hurting her. Everything he tells her is ironic because he's the unholy one. The next day young Jerry tells his father he wants to be a Resurrection-Man...which is the job title of what Mr. Cruncher does.
So the man Defarge met after there was a chain/person dragging from his carriage is in the "secret club"? Jacques and Defarge enter the wine shop and it gets silent and after Defarge comments on the mender of the roads being named Jacques, three men continuously got up and left. Then Defarge took the mender of the roads to his "room" which is where the three Jacques who left the wineshop went for a meeting. Who was the man who had the chain and man dragging from his carriage? I don't understand the whole prisoner story that the mender of the roads was telling. When they went to see the king and queen, what did Madame Defarge mean at the end of this section of reading? Also, what does the knitting symbolize?
