The Marquis whom it accused learned of this, and, to put Doctor Manette out of the way, had him arrested secretly, taken from his wife and baby daughter and thrown into a secret cell of the Bastille, where he had lived those eighteen years, not knowing whether his wife and child lived or died. THE MARQUIS WHOM IT ACCUSED LEARNED OF THIS AND TO PUT DOCTOR MANETTE OUT OF THE WAY HAD HIM ARRESTED SECRETLY TAKEN FROM HIS WIFE AND BABY DAUGHTER AND THROWN INTO A SECRET CELL OF THE BASTILLE WHERE HE HAD LIVED THOSE EIGHTEEN YEARS NOT KNOWING WHETHER HIS WIFE AND CHILD LIVED OR DIED
this Barsad could not guess, but to save himself he had to promise. Next day Darnay was tried for the second time. When the judge asked for the accusation, Defarge laid a paper before him. It was a letter that had been found when the Bastille fell, in the cell that had been occupied for eighteen years by Doctor Manette. He had written it before his reason left him, and hidden it behind a loosened stone in the wall; and in it he had told the story of his own unjust arrest. Defarge read it aloud to the jury. And this was the terrible tale it told: The Marquis de St. Evrémonde (the cruel uncle of Darnay), when he was a young man, had dreadfully wronged a young peasant woman, had caused her husband's death and killed her brother with his own hand. As the brother lay dying from the sword wound, Doctor Manette, then also a young man, had been called to attend him, and so, by accident, had learned the whole. Horrified at the wicked wrong, he wrote of it in a letter to the Minister of Justice.
