| At noon, two men covered in dust came walking through the streets under the swinging streetlamps. One of them was Monsieur Defarge. The other was a man wearing a blue cap who repaired roads, they walk into the wine shop in Saint Antoine. |
|
 | I have travelled with this good mender of roads, called Jacques. He is a good child that I meant by accident. Give him to drink, my wife! Afterwards I will show him some apartments. | |
|
| Thank you. | |
|

|
|
|
| They arrive to the apartments where three other men meet them. These men are all referred to as Jacques. |
|
| Jacques One, Jacques Two, Jacques Three! This is the witness encountered by appointment, by me, Jacques Four. He will tell you all. Speak, Jacques Five. | |
|
| I met a man as tall as a ghost. I saw him hiding under a marquis' carriage. The second time I saw him,I saw six soldiers coming over the hill. In the middle of them was the tall man, and his arms were tied to his sides—like this! | |

|
|
| As they went down the hill like mad men running a race, the tall man fell. The soldiers laughed and picked him up again. His face was bleeding and covered with dust, but he couldn’t touch it. They went to the vilage and locked him in a prison, I saw him there, bloody and covered in dirt, already looking half dead. | |
|
| Go on, Jacques. | |
