The jury at once found Darnay guilty and sentenced him to die by the guillotine the next morning. Lucie fainted when the sentence was pronounced. Sydney Carton, who had witnessed the trial, lifted her and bore her to a carriage. When they reached home he carried her up the stairs and laid her on a couch.
