 | I do not doubt your love for Lucie. You speak so feelingly and so manfully, Charles Darnay, that I thank you with all my heart, and will open all my heart—or nearly so. Have you any reason to believe that Lucie loves you? | |
|
| No, not yet | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Do you seek any guidance from me? | |
|
| I ask none, sir. But I have thought it possible that you might have it in your power, if you should deem it right, to give me some. | |
|

|
|
|
|
| May I ask, sir, if you think she is— | |
|
| Is sought by any other suitor? You have seen Mr. Carton here, yourself. Mr. Stryver is here too, occasionally. If it be at all, it can only be by one of these. | |
