Today was Darnays' trial. The
prosecutor's stated that Darnay was an enemy. They said that because
of Darnays' name (Evermonde) he was part of the aristocracy. Such
slander. Following the testimony Defarge read a letter aloud to the
court that Lucies' father had written whilst in prison. The evidence
was amazing. The accusation and trial of Charles Darnay had been
nothing but a vendetta against the Evermondes from madame Defarge.
The blood seeking mob was outraged at Darnay. His fate had been
decided. It seems I must travel France. There must be something I can
do to offer salvation. I refuse to let this man and his family down.
I have talked to Mr. Lorry about our departure back to London for the
safety of the Manette’s and ourselves, however for this lowly
drunkard, it will only be one way.
