cravat, and his coat-collar, and his wild hair. This done, he went
on direct to Defarge’s, and went in.
There happened to be no customers in the shop but Jacques
Three, of the restless fingers and the croaking voice. This man,
whom he had seen upon the Jury. stood drinking at the little
counter, in conversation with the Defarges, man and wife. The
Vengeance assisted in the conversation, like a regular member of
the establishment.
As Carton walked in, took his seat and asked (in very indifferent
French) for a small measure of wine. Madame Defarge cast a
careless glance at him, and then a keener, and then a keener, and
then advanced to him herself, and asked him what it was he had
ordered.
He repeated what he had already said.
“English?” asked Madame Defarge, inquisitively raising her
dark eyebrows.
After looking at her, as if the sound of even a single French
word were slow to express itself to him, he answered, in his former
strong foreign accent. “Yes, madame, yes. I am English!”
Madame Defarge returned to her counter to get the wine, and,
as he took up a Jacobin journal and feigned to pore over it
puzzling out its meaning, he heard her say, “I swear to you, like
Evremonde!”
Defarge brought him the wine, and gave him Good Evening.
“How?”
“Good evening.”
