Quote context

[...]

- A dispatch sent after you from over yonder. Tellson and Company.

- He can come close, guard. There's nothing wrong.

- I hope there ain't.

- Hey, you. Come in at a footpace.

- Let's have the dispatch.

- Here it is, Mr. Lorry.

- Thank you.

- Guard, there's nothing to be afraid of. I belong to Tellson's Bank in London. I'm going to Paris on business.

- May I read this?

- If so be as you're quick, sir.

- 'Wait for Miss Manette at Dover'. You see, guard, it's not long.

- Messenger?

- Yes, sir.

- Take back my answer to London. Here it is: 'Recalled to life'.

- Recalled to life? Yes, Mr. Lorry.

- Good night.

- Tom.

- Hello, Joe.

- Did you hear that message?

- I did, Joe.

- What did you make of it, Tom?

- Nothing at all, Joe.

- Well, that's a coincidence, too. That's just what I made of it myself.
