     In Paris, Defarge entered his wine shop whome he calls Jacques. Three men came out of the shop in line individually. However, the workmen built a gallows in the middle of town, and soon the man was hanged. When the mender of roads finished his recollection, Defarge who see that their efforts will prove easier if the aristocrats continue to believe in the peasantry's allegiance. Defarge returned to Saint Antoine later that evening. A policeman friend warned Defarge that a spy name John Barsad has been sent to their neighborhood. Madame Defarge added Darnay's name to her registry, unsettling Defarge. In the eve of Lucie's marriage to Darney, Lucie and her father have enjoyed long days of happiness together. Lucie sneaked down to her father's room and finds him sleeping soundly.
     Darnay and Docter Manette converse beefore going to church for Darney's wedding to Lucie. As they proceeded to go to the honeymoon.

On the tenth morning, Lorry wakes to find the shoemaker's bench put away and the Docter reading a book. A few days later Manette leaves to join Lucie and Darnay. In his absence, Lorry and Miss Pross hack the shoemaker's bench to pieces, burned it and bury the tool. When Lucie and Darnay returned home form their honeymoon, Sydney Carton is their first visitor. Lucie deems this judgement too harsh and insists that Carton possesses a good, heart. Years went by and Lucie and her family enjoy a tranquil life. She gives birth to a daughter, little Lucie, and a son, who dies young. Lorry visits the Darnays and reports that an alarming number of French citizens are sending their money and property to England.
     One week later in Saint Antoine, Defarge arrives bearing news of the capture of Foulon, a wealthy man who once declared that if people were starving they should eat grass. The French countryside lies ruined and desolate. A unidentified man, weary from travel, meets the mender of roads. Then there was a report of a pleasant being killed. It is said it is happening all over French. Three years pass. Politcal turmoil continued in France, causing England to become a refuge for persecuted aristocrats.
