101 Charles Evrémonde, called Darnay! Suspected and denounced enemy of the Republic, aristocrat, one of the family of tyrants, one of a race proscribed.

102 Charles Evrémonde, called Darnay, in right of such proscription, doomed to die.

103 Citizen Dr. Manette? Citizen Dr. Manette, take the stand. Dr. Manette, do you know this prisoner? -I do.

104 Citizen Evrémonde, do you remember me? I'm the poor little seamstress who was with you in the prison.

105 Citizen Evrémonde, will you let me hold your hand? I'm not afraid, but I am little and weak. It will give me more courage.

106 Citizen Manette, be still. If the Republic should demand of you the sacrifice of your child, you would have no duty but to sacrifice her. Be silent!

107 Citizen, I beg you to observe that I came here of my own free will, in answer to that written appeal that lies before you. Is that not my right?

— Charles Darnay (Edgar Barrier)

110 Common dog that I am, where is he? -He is not here.
