SUMMARY

Darnay’s name is being called by the gaoler along with twenty three other prisoners on death row.

Darnay is at his trial and he sees Defarge and Madame Defarge in the front row, only looking at the

jury.

He is accused of being an aristocrat and an emigrant.

He defends himself by saying he married a French woman(Lucie).

Also, by saying he had no purpose in being in France and that the only reson he came back, after

leaving was to bear testimony to a citizen(Theophile Gabelle).

Doctor Manette speaks for Darnay, causing the public to go onto Darnays side.

The jury is ready to vote.

Darnay is declared free.

As Darnay leaves, five of the other prisoners being tried say to Darnay, “ Long live the Republic.”

The crowd carried Darnay to Lucie.

Lucie, Darnay, and Mr. Lorry are all reunited..

“ He was happy in the return he had made her, he

remonstrated; ‘don’t tremble so. I have saved him.’”
