As I said in my
earlier account, Charles and Lucie were engaged, but now Charles and
Lucie are happily married. Today I decided to venture to their house
to congratulate the couple. Even though I haven’t become better in
my appearance than before or even changed a bit, I felt more secure
to say the least on this beautiful sun shining day. After a few
moments of polite discussion I took Darnay aside to speak to him
privately; I plead for forgiveness for my actions and asked to be
friends. In response, Darnay acted as if we had already been
friends... this act of kindness was strange to me. I let him know
that the consequences of my drunken times haunt me and I hope that I
will not be judged of something that happened in the past. Truly, I
want Darnay to forget about the night at the tavern after his trial.
When I became more drunk than usual and lost control of my self and
spoke of whether I liked him or not. As well as my sudden confession
to Lucie after their engagement. But he seemed to understand. He
seems to forgive me and my past, though it sounded as if he was just
being polite. I admitted that I am incapable of becoming a better
man; however, Charles was very sincere to me and agreed to let me
come and go to his house as a friend. It makes me happy to know that
I may visit if I would like to even though it may be only a rare
occurrence. Charles impact on me is very significant. I hope maybe
one day I will be able to impact his life. Maybe something in me is
changing for the better, or am I just as undesirable as ever?
