He cared for nobody, and nobody, he used to say, cared for him. He lacked energy and ambition to work and struggle for himself, but for the sake of plenty of money with which to buy liquor, he studied cases for another lawyer, who was fast growing rich by his labor. HE CARED FOR NOBODY AND NOBODY HE USED TO SAY CARED FOR HIM HE LACKED ENERGY AND AMBITION TO WORK AND STRUGGLE FOR HIMSELF BUT FOR THE SAKE OF PLENTY OF MONEY WITH WHICH TO BUY LIQUOR HE STUDIED CASES FOR ANOTHER LAWYER WHO WAS FAST GROWING RICH BY HIS LABOUR
ie's tears fell fast as she gave her testimony, believing him innocent and knowing that her words would be used to condemn him. Darnay would doubtless have been convicted but for a curious coincidence: A dissipated young lawyer, named Sydney Carton, sitting in the court room, had noticed with surprise that he himself looked very much like the prisoner; in fact, that they were so much alike they might almost have been taken for twin brothers. He called the attention of Darnay's lawyer to this, and the latter--while one of the witnesses against Darnay was making oath that he had seen him in a certain place in France--made Carton take off his wig (all lawyers wear wigs in England while in court) and stand up beside Darnay. The two were so alike the witness was puzzled, and he could not swear which of the two he had seen. For this reason Darnay, to Lucie's great joy, was found not guilty. Sydney Carton, who had thought of and suggested this clever thing, was a reckless, besotted young man.  THAT MEMORABLE CROSSING LUCIE'S TEARS FELL FAST AS SHE GAVE HER TESTIMONY BELIEVING HIM INNOCENT KNOWING THAT HER WORDS WOULD BE USED TO CONDEMN HIM DARNAY WOULD DOUBTLESS HAVE BEEN CONVICTED BUT FOR A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE A DISSIPATED YOUNG LAWYER NAMED SIDNEY CARTON SITTING IN THE COURTROOM HAD NOTICED WITH SURPRISE THAT HE HIMSELF LOOKED VERY MUCH LIKE THE PRISONER IN FACT THAT THEY WERE SO MUCH ALIKE THEY MIGHT ALMOST HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR TWIN BROTHERS HE CALLED THE ATTENTION OF DARNAY'S LAWYER TO THIS AND THE LATTER WHILE ONE OF THE WITNESSES AGAINST DARNAY WAS MAKING OATH THAT HE HAD SEEN HIM IN A CERTAIN PLACE IN FRANCE MADE CARTON TAKE OFF HIS WIG ALL LAWYERS WEAR WIGS IN ENGLAND WHILE IN COURT AND STAND UP BESIDE DARNAY THE TWO WERE SO ALIKE THE WITNESS WAS PUZZLED THAT HE COULD NOT SWEAR WHICH OF THE TWO HE HAD SEEN FOR THIS REASON DARNAY TO LUCIE'S GREAT JOY WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY SYDNEY CARTON WHO HAD THOUGHT OF AND SUGGESTED THIS CLEVER THING WAS A RECKLESS BESOTTED YOUNG MAN
