What does he look like?What does he look like?In Monsieur Defarge's wine-shop in Saint Antoine customers came andaromaticwent all the time. They came to drink the thin, rough wine, but more often they came to listen and to talk, and to wait for news.One day there were more customers than usual. Defarge had been away for three days, and when he returned that morning, he brought a stranger with him, a man who repaired roads.'Madame, ' Defarge said to his wife, 'this man, who is called Jacques, has walked a long way with me.' One customer got up and went out.'This mender of roads, ' continued Defarge, 'who is called Jacques, is a good man. Give him something to drink.' A second man got up and went out. The man who repaired roads sat down and drank. A third man got up and went out.'Have you finished, my friend?' said Defarge#x.'Then come and see the room I promised you.'They went upstairs, to the room where Dr Manette had sat making shoes. The three men who had left the wine-shop were waiting. Defarge spoke to them.'No names. You are Jacques One,aromaticJacques Two and Jacques Three. I am Jacques Four. This is Jacques Five. He brings us news of our poor friend Gaspard, whose child was killed by the Marquis's coach a year ago.''I first saw Gaspard, ' said Jacques Five, 'holding on under the Marquis's coach as it drove into our village. He ran away, but that night the Marquis was murdered. Gaspard disappeared and was only caught a few weeks ago. The soldiers brought him into the village and hanged him. And they have left his body hanging in the village square, where the women go to fetch water, and our children play.'When Jacques Five had left them, Jacques One said to his friends, 'What do you say? Shall we put their names on the list?''Yes,Diamond blade, all of them. The castle and all of the family of Evrémonde.''Is the list safe?' asked Jacques Two.'Yes, my friend, ' said Defarge.'My wife remembers everything. But more than that, every name is carefully knitted into her work. Nothing can be forgotten.'A few days later Defarge reported to his wife some news from his friend'Jacques' in the police.'A new spy has been sent to Saint Antoine. His name is Barsad, John Barsad. He's English.''What does he look like? Do we know?'
'He's about forty years old, quite tall#x, black hair, thin face, ' said Defarge.'Good, ' said his wife.'I'll put himaromaticon the list tomorrow. But you seem tired tonight. And sad.'相关的主题文章:
