| Mr. Carton visits Darnay and Lucie after their honeymoon to ask for Darnay's forgiveness. |
|
 | Genuine truth, Mr. Darnay, trust me! I have gone aside from my purpose; I was speaking about our being friends. Now, you know me; you know I am incapable of all the higher and better flights of men. If you doubt it, ask Stryver, and he’ll tell you so. | |
|
| I prefer to form my own opinion, without the aid of his. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Well! At any rate you know me as a dissolute dog, who has never done any good, and never will. | |
|
| I don’t know that you ‘never will.’ | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| But I do, and you must take my word for it. Well! If you could endure to have such a worthless fellow, and a fellow of such indifferent reputation, coming and going at odd times, I should ask that I might be permitted to come and go as a privileged person here; that I might be regarded as an useless piece of furniture, tolerated for its old service, and taken no notice of. I doubt if I should abuse the permission. It is a hundred to one if I should avail myself of it four times in a year. It would satisfy me, I dare say, to know that I had it. | |
