Another man came forwardAnother man came forwardThe Marquis of Evremonde was a disappointed man. He had waited for hoursWigat the palace of the King of France, but the King had not spoken to him. Angrily,katana, the Marquis got into his coach and told the driver to take him home. Very soon the coach was driving fast out of Paris, and the people in the narrow streets had to run to get out of the way—if they could. At the corner of a street in Saint Antoine, one of the coach wheels hit something, and the people in the street screamed loudly. The horses were frightened and stopped.'What has gone wrong?' asked the Marquis calmly, looking out of the window of the coach. A tall man had picked something up from under the feet of the horses and was crying loudly over it.'Why is that man making that terrible noise?' asked the Marquis impatiently.
'I'm sorry, Monsieur the Marquis. It is his child#x, ' said one of the people.
'Dead！Killea！'screamed the man.The people in the street came close to the coach and looked to the coach and looked at the Marquis with stony, silent faces. The Marquis looked back at them in bored dislike. To him, they were no more than animals.'I can't understand, ' he said coldly,Wig'why you people cannot take care of yourselves and your children. I hope my horses are not hurt.' And he threw a gold coin to his driver.'Give this to that man！'
'Dead！'shouted the father of the child again.Another man came forward.'Be brave, Gaspard. Your child has died quickly, and without pain. It is better to die like that than to go on living in these terrible times.''You are a sensible man, ' said the Marquis from his coach.
'What is your name?'
'They call me Defarge.'
'This is for you, ' said the Marquis, and he threw Defarge another gold coin.'Drive on, ' he called to his driver.Just as the coach was leaving, a coin was thrown back in through the window. The Marquis looked angrily at the corner where Defarge had been standing. Defarge had gone. At the corner there now stood a large, dark－haired woman, knitting. She stared long and hard at the face of the Marquis, but he did not look at her, and drove on.Later that day, as the sun was going down, the same coach stopped #xin a village near the Marquis's castle. Several villagers, in poor thin clothes, with thin hungry faces, were standing in the village squareWig. The Marquis looked at their faces and then pointed to one of them.相关的主题文章：
