You can imagine that Lucie's heart was both glad and sorrowful at the news; joyful that the father she had always believed dead was alive, and yet full of grief for his condition. She hastily made ready and that same day set out with Mr. Lorry for France. When they reached Paris they went at once to find Defarge. YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT LUCIE'S HEART WAS BOTH GLAD AND SORROWFUL AT THE NEWS JOYFUL THAT HER FATHER SHE HAD ALWAYS BELIEVED DEAD WAS ALIVE AND YET FULL OF GRIEF FOR HIS CONDITION SHE HASTILY MADE READY AND THAT SAME DAY SET OUT WITH MISTER LORRY FOR FRANCE WHEN THEY REACHED PARIS THEY WENT AT ONCE TO FIND DEFARGE
ple suffered. Lucie's mother had guessed that Doctor Manette (for he was a physician) had in some way incurred the hatred of some one of the nobles and had thus been taken from her; but all she certainly knew was that he had disappeared one day in Paris and had never come back. For a year she had tried in every way to find him, but at length, desolate and heartbroken, she had fallen ill and died, leaving little Lucie with only Miss Pross, her English nurse, to care for her. Mr. Lorry himself, who told Lucie this story, having known her father, had brought her, a baby, to London in his arms. Now, he told her, after all these years, her father had been released, and was at that moment in Paris in charge of a man named Defarge, who had once been his servant. But the long imprisonment had affected his mind, so that he was little more than the broken wreck of the man he had once been. Mr. Lorry was about to go to Paris to identify him, and he wished Lucie to go also to bring him to himself.
