CARTON WHO WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS THREATENED THE SPY AND HIS KNOWLEDGE AND MADE HIM SWEAR THAT IF WORST CAME TO WORST AND DARNAY WERE CONDEMNED HE WOULD ADMIT CARTON TO THE CELL TO SEE HIM ONCE BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN TO EXECUTION
ce of bad news to Mr. Lorry was Sydney Carton, the reckless and dissipated young lawyer. Probably he had heard, in London, of Lucie's trouble, and out of his love for her, which he always carried hidden in his heart, had come to Paris to try to aid her husband. He had arrived only to hear, at the same time, of the acquittal and the rearrest. As Carton walked along the street thinking sadly of Lucie's new grief, he saw a man whose face and figure seemed familiar. Following, he soon recognized him as the English spy, Barsad, whose false testimony, years before in London, had come so near convicting Darnay when he was tried for treason. Barsad (who, as it happened, was now a turnkey in the very prison where Darnay was confined) had left London to become a spy in France, first on the side of the king and then on the side of the people. At the time of this story England was so hated by France that if the people had known of Barsad's career in London they would have cut off his head at once.
