1"Partly through paying me to help you, I suppose. But it's not worth your while to apostrophise me, or the air, about
2it; what you want to do, you do. You were always in the front rank, and I was always behind." "I had to get into the
3front rank; I was not born there, was I?" "I was not present at the ceremony; but my opinion is you were," said Carton.
4At this, he laughed again, and they both laughed. "Before Shrewsbury, and at Shrewsbury, and ever since Shrewsbury,"
5pursued Carton, "you have fallen into your rank, and I have fallen into mine. Even when we were fellow-students in the
6Student-Quarter of Paris, picking up French, and French law, and other French crumbs that we didn't get much good of,
7you were always somewhere, and I was always nowhere." "And whose fault was that?" "Upon my soul, I am not sure that it
8was not yours. You were always driving and riving and shouldering and passing, to that restless degree that I had no
9chance for my life but in rust and repose. It's a gloomy thing, however, to talk about one's own past, with the day
10breaking. Turn me in some other direction before I go." "Well then! Pledge me to the pretty witness," said Stryver,
11holding up his glass. "Are you turned in a pleasant direction?" Apparently not, for he became gloomy again. "Pretty
12witness," he muttered, looking down into his glass. "I have had enough of witnesses to-day and to-night; who's your
13pretty witness?" "The picturesque doctor's daughter, Miss Manette." "She pretty?" "Is she not?" "No." "Why, man alive,
14she was the admiration of the whole Court!" "Rot the admiration of the whole Court! Who made the Old Bailey a judge of
15beauty? She was a golden-haired doll!" "Do you know, Sydney," said Mr. Stryver, looking at him with sharp eyes, and
16slowly drawing a hand across his florid face: "do you know, I rather thought, at the time, that you sympathised with the
17golden-haired doll, and were quick to see what happened to the golden-haired doll?" "Quick to see what happened! If a
18girl, doll or no doll, swoons within a yard or two of a man's nose, he can see it without a perspective-glass. I pledge
19you, but I deny the beauty. And now I'll have no more drink; I'll get to bed." When his host followed him out on the
20staircase with a candle, to light him down the stairs, the day was coldly looking in through its grimy windows. When he
21got out of the house, the air was cold and sad, the dull sky overcast, the river dark and dim, the whole scene like a
22lifeless desert. And wreaths of dust were spinning round and round before the morning blast, as if the desert-sand had
23risen far away, and the first spray of it in its advance had begun to overwhelm the city. Waste forces within him, and a
24desert all around, this man stood still on his way across a silent terrace, and saw for a moment, lying in the
25wilderness before him, a mirage of honourable ambition, self-denial, and perseverance. In the fair city of this vision,
26there were airy galleries from which the loves and graces looked upon him, gardens in which the fruits of life hung
27ripening, waters of Hope that sparkled in his sight. A moment, and it was gone. Climbing to a high chamber in a well of
28houses, he threw himself down in his clothes on a neglected bed, and its pillow was wet with wasted tears. Sadly, sadly,
29the sun rose; it rose upon no sadder sight than the man of good abilities and good emotions, incapable of their directed
30exercise, incapable of his own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight on him, and resigning himself to let
31it eat him away.
