It was the year 1757, the doctor Manette lived in Pairs. And one day he treated a young woman who was hurt by ME family. And the young woman’s husband was killed by them. The doctor felt very angry when he heard the young woman’s miserable experiences. He decided to claimed crimes of ME to the king’s court. So he wrote a letter to the court. Some days later, several men came to Manette’s house and asked him to treat a patient. Manette agreed and followed these men. But these man were ME members. They put Manette into prison. Manette’s family didn’t find him anywhere. Just several months later his wife gave birth to a baby called Lucie.

18 years had passed. It was 1775. The doctor’s daughter Lucie was 18 years old. At that time she lived in London. She just was brought up by Miss Spross, because when Lucie was 2 years old her mother was dead. One day she suddenly received a letter that said she should immediately went to Pairs for getting some information about her father. She felt shocked and went to Pairs as soon as possible. On the ways to Pairs, Lucie met other main character in this book-- Charles. He was a son of the ME’s leader. But he hated his father and relatives’cruel actions to low class people, so he moved to

England and exchanged his name to Charles. At that time, no one knew his real identity. He fell in love with the beautiful Luciel. When Lucie arrived in the Pairs, she met her father’s old friend Mr. Lorry. Mr. Lorry brought Lucie to meet her father’s former servant-- Ernest Defarge. At that time Defarge and his wife Madame Defarge ran a bar in Pairs. Through all people’s effort, Lucie met her father at first time. Her father was weak and filthy. When Manette knew he had a daughter in the world he held his daughter and cried. Then Mr. Lorry, Lucie and her father came back to London.

Lucie and her father had a harmonious and peaceful life in London. Lucie took care of her father very well. And her father recovered, he became a doctor again. After 5 years, Charle whom I told you before Lucie met him on the way to Pairs was sued. Lucie who was a witness also joined the trial. In the trial, Charle’s lawyer Carton discovered remarkable details for proving Charle was innocent. Finally the jury announced the verdict –Charle was not guilty. During the trial, the lawyer Carton who perceived Lucie’s golden quality and beauty also fell in love with her. Some days later, Charle took courtship to Lucie and Lucie accepted. During the wedding, Charle told Lucie’s father, who is the doctor, his real identity that he came

from ME and so on. The doctor felt shocked. He stayed prison for 18 years just for ME. But doctor decided to keep this secret because he was more concerned about his daughter’s happiness. After the wedding, Carton still kept very close relationship with the young couple. In his mind, his happiness is not marrying her but knowing her happiness.

In 1789, the revolution erupted in France. When Chale got this news, he had to go back to France to help his old friends in Pairs. But when he just arrived on Pairs, he was arrested for he was an/the Emigrant. Because revolutionist hated the English Emigrant very much, he was put into the prison. In London when Lucie, Manette, Carton and Mr. Lorry heard the bad news, they rushed to Pairs. The revolutionists welcome Manette due to his suffering in Bastill. Soon, at Charle’s trial, by a unanimous vote, Charle was freed. But a few hours later, Charle was arrested again for his real identity. And he was denounced by Madame Defarge. Several days later, the court announced that Charle was one of ME, a former noble man, and an enemy of the Republic, one of family of tyrants that lived off the blood of the people! Court decided to execute Charles by guillotine in twenty-four hours.

Everyone felt painful and hopeless except Madame

Defarge. Someone can ask why Madame Defarge hated Chale so much and why she still wanted to kill him? Now, please look at block broad. Can you remember that ME hurt a young lady and killed the lady’s husband? Madame Defarge was the last survivor in this pathetic family. Until now, whole things became clear and reasonable.

When Carton saw Lucie’s pale face and hopeless eye, he felt some swords penetrated into his heart. He made a holy and brave decision. He decided to save Charles who was in prison and replaced him to die because of loving Lucie. At that time, Madame Defarge was saturated into revenge, so she brought pistol to Lucie’s apartment. She not only wanted to kill Charles, but also wanted to kill his whole family. She had been deeply indulged in the revenge. On the fight between Madame Defarge and Lucie’s servant, Defarge was killed by her pistol. Soon Carton went to the prison and bribed a prison official to let him go into the prison. Then, he drunk Charles and exchanged their clothes. Finally, the prison official brought Charles to Lucie’s apartment. The last minute came and Carton was brought to the guillotine. As his cart rumbled toward the platform, he turned his eyes toward London and said: I see them holding a special place for me in their hearts, remembering me

with love. Yes, this is a far, far better thing that I am doing than anything I have ever done in my life. END
