The sun was shining brightly on the day of Charles and Lucie’s wedding.The beautiful Miss Manette, Mr. Lorry, and Miss Pross were all ready to go to the church. Although Miss Pross would have loved for the groom to be her brother, Solomon. |
|
| This is why I brought you across the English Channel when you were young, my sweet Lucie! Lord bless me! I thought I was doing such a small thing. I didn’t realize how important it would one day be for my friend Mr. Charles! | |
|
| You didn’t mean for them to get married. Therefore how could you have known that this would happen? That’s nonsense. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| Dear me! This is an occasion that makes a man reflect on all the things he has lost in his life. Dear, dear, dear! To think that I might have gotten married myself sometime in these last fifty years | |
|
| Not at all! You were born to be a bachelor. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| Enough of this! Now, my dear Lucie I hear them in the next room. Miss Pross and I, as two formal businesspeople, don’t want to miss our last chance to say something reassuring to you. You are leaving your father in hands as honest and loving as your own. During the next two weeks, in order to look after your father. | |
|
| Thank you both. | |
