She doesn't like the frequent visiting of Mr. Darnay and Mr.
Carton. She thought that nobody was good enough to marry
Lucie.

10- What did Defarge say to Gaspard when the child died?
He asked him to be brave because his child had died quickly, and
without pain and that was better to die like that than to go on
living in those terrible conditions.

Comment.
The Marquis said these words to one of the villagers when he

13- Describe the conditions of Charles Darnay after the death of his uncle.
Darnay had become a successful teacher of French in London.
He had known, when he came to London, that he would have to
work hard to earn his living, and he was successful. He was in
love with Lucie from the time of the Old Baily.

14- After Darnay had told Dr.Manette about his feelings towards Lucie,
Dr. Manette returned to his old prison work of making shoes. Explain.
Dr. Manette loved his daughter very much. That love was the
greatest thing in his life. He thought that Darnay would come
between him and his daughter and they would be separated
because of Darnay.

15- "It's too late for that. I shall never be better than I am." Comment.
Mr. Carton said these words to Lucie when he visited her in her
house to tell her about his love and about his life and how the
way of his life was not good for his health. She asked him to
change the way of his life but he said that was too late.

16-The idea of sacrifice came to be clear when Carton told Lucie about
his love. Explain.
When Mr. Carton told Lucie about his love, he knew that she was
in love with Mr. Darnay, so he asked her not to tell anyone about
what he had said. And she should know that he could do
anything for her or for anyone close to her. He could give his life
to keep someone she loved alive and close to her.

17- "I'll put him on the list tomorrow." Comment.
These words said by madam Defarge to her husband in his wine
shop. That was when he told her about the spy that was sent to
Saint Antoine. Madam Defarge had a list where she recorded the
names of the poor's enemies, like the noblemen, the landowners
and every person oppressed the poor.

18- Defarge wasn't happy when he knew that Lucie married Mr. Darnay.
Explain.
Because Miss Manette had married the nephew of the Marquis
that Gaspard killed. Her new husband was really the new
Marquis, but he preferred to be unknown in England. Defarge
and his wife recorded the name of Evermonde in the list of
revenge because they were the enemies of the poor.

19-There was much blood and violence in the French Revolution. Explain.
They carried guns, knives, sticks, even stones anything that
could be a weapon. They shouted and screamed ready to fight
and to die in battle, set fire to the Bastille and freed the prisoners,
killed the officers, set fire to the castle of the Marquis and
watched the fire and they did nothing to save the people inside.

20-Things were changed in France after the revolution. Show how.
The citizens in France had fought to gain power, and they used
it. Castles were burned, laws were changed, and the rich and the
nobles died their heads cut off by that terrible machine of
death, the Guillotine. In Paris the king was put in prison, and
was sent to the Guillotine as well.

21- Why did Mr. Lorry have to travel to Paris?
Because his work there was to find and hide papers that might
be dangerous to the customers of Tellson's bank.

22- "You must not go. Your life is here, with your family." Comment.
These words were said by Mr. Lorry to Mr. Darnay who wanted
to travel to France to help the poor people there as he was sorry
for them. This situation reflected to us how Mr. Darnay was
sympathetic to the poor people in France not towards his family
there or the noblemen.

23- The French Revolution defended the rights of the poor and at the
same time oppressed the innocent. Explain.
The French Revolution couldn't differentiate between the
noblemen who were so cruel to the poor and those who were
sympathetic to them. They killed even the servants of the
noblemen just because they were employed by them. That
happened with Gabelle, the Marquis official, although he did his
best for the poor. Also Mr. Darnay was a victim to that cruel
revenge. He was arrested and sent to prison although he left his
uncle defending the rights of the miserable people.
