Mr. Lorry left Lucie, her child and Jerry Cruncher at a hotel/safe quarter for safety. Then Mr. Lorry got a letter from Dr. Manette saying Charles was okay. What's/Who's the Vengeance? Mr. Lorry took Defarge to deliver a note to Lucie from Charles. Why did Madame Defarge have to see Lucie and her daughter and she said that the child was her "business" there? Why was Madame Defarge so cold towards Lucie?
Dr. Manette is popular and trying to get Darnay out of prison but a year and three months have passed and Darnay remained in prison but now Dr. Manette is confident he said.
Dr. Manette told Lucie to go to a certain spot across from the prison so Darnay could see her, but she probably wouldn't be able to see him. She does this for two hours everyday and there's a man working nearby that always watches her and I think when he was talking about chopping off a mans head, then a woman's head, and then a child's head it may be foreshadowing something to come? What was with the dancing? Lucie blew a kiss up to her husband although she couldn't see him. Who was with Mr. Lorry at the end of this chapter, The Wood Sawyer?
Darnay was put to trial and explained why he was in England and not in France for the past so much time. Darnay got help from Dr. Manette and was finally set free! Darnay was then carried back to Lucie.
Miss Pross and Jerry Cruncher left to go do some work and Lucie thinks she hears something on the stairs and Dr. Manette says "My love, the staircase is as still as Death." I think its foreshadowing death to come or danger to one of the family members or family friend. Darnay is sent back to prison because Defarge and his wife denounced him, with another person who is still unknown.
Miss Pross and Jerry Cruncher went to get groceries and wine and when they got wine Miss Pross noticed Solomn and screams and he wanted her to not call him by his real name. They went outside to converse and he was still rude to her and wanted her to pretend she doesn't know him from now on otherwise he'll be put to death. He had changed his name to Barsad, the witness at the trial and was a spy. Sydney Carton shows up and wants Barsad to go to the bank with him. They told Mr. Lorry Darnay was arrested again. Then Carton asked who Barsad's friend was and realized it was Cly. After that Barsad went on to explain that Cly had died and he had the papers to prove it, and then showed the papers. Jerry Cruncher, being there, knew Cly was not dead because he was not in his grave the night Cruncher dug it up. Cruncher then got Barsad to admit that Cly faked his funeral and now that Carton knows Barsad is a turnkey at the Conciergie he wants to speak to him alone.
Carton's private talk with Barsad was that if Darnay became ill he will have access to him at once. Carton and Mr. Lorry have a heartfelt conversation after that. Then Mr. Lorry goes to the Manette's house and Carton followed Lucie's path to the prison and talked to the wood sawyer and then went into a shop and bought something . I don't exactly know what he bought but it must not be good because the store owner told him to be careful and not to mix them because of "the consequences of mixing them." Carton walked around almost all night and he illustrated his tenderness in many ways. We know now that the third person to denounce Darnay is Dr. Manette through his letter hidden in the prison. Defarge showed Dr. Manette's hidden letter to the president of the jury. We know Dr. Manette must have wrote something about Darnay's family in it so now Darnay is in real trouble now that Dr. Manette unknowingly helped write a letter that accused him.

I think the substance Carton bought are medicines or chemicals of some sort that are lethal when mixed together. I think it's the start of Carton's journey to his sacrifice.
I liked the part about Carton and, yes, how it showed his "tenderness." I also liked the conversation between Carton and Mr. Lorry because of the imagery it put in my head. You could almost feel the emotions as Carton did and how heavy his descision to die for Darnay was. At least, that's what I inferred from the secret conversation that he and Barsad had.
The vengeance, I think, is a friend of Madame Defarge who is very into killing anyone on the registry, very into the revolution. I think Madame Defarge's coldness towards Lucie is going to foreshadow something to come, perhaps she is after her, too?
I agree with KK that the vengance is similar to Madame Defarge in the sense that she is willing to kill anyone on the registery.
