Chapter 5 :A Marriage and A Confession More time passed and Mr Charles Darnay established himself in England as a teacher of French.

He often visited Doctor Manette and Lucie, and gradually he fell in love. Mr Lorry was a visitor to the house as well, going there on Sundays after his week's work at Tellson's Bank.

The young lawyer Sydney Carton was another visitor at Doctor Manette's house. He was a strange young man, often bitter and sharp in his conversation.

He drank too much and there was an air of sadness about him. He did not like Charles Darnay and was frequently cold in his behaviour to the Frenchman whose life he had so brilliantly saved at the Old Bailey.

Charles Darnay finally managed to approach Doctor Manette to tell him of his love for Lucie. The old man did not want to lose his daughter, but he liked Darnay and respected him.

If my daughter loves you, ' he told the young man, 'I shall be happy to see you married to her. There's one other thing, ' Darnay added.

You know that my name is not really Darnay. I'd rather you knew who I really am.

No! ' cried Doctor Manette suddenly. For a moment he looked quite afraid.

I don't wish to hear it now, my friend. But you can tell me, ' he went on, 'on the morning of the day you marry Lucie.

A few days later Sydney Carton came to the house. He looked tired and ill and appeared to be ashamed of himself.
