o answer; that they took fright at his bewilderment; and agreed for the time to tamper with him no more。 He had a wild; lost manner of occasionally clasping his head in his hands; that had not been seen in him before; yet; he had some pleasure in the mere sound of his daughter's voice; and invariably turned to it when she spoke。
In the submissive way of one long accustomed to obey under coercion; he ate and drank what they gave him to eat and drink; and put on the cloak and other wrappings; that they gave him to wear。 He readily responded to his daughter's drawing her arm through his; and took……and kept……her hand in both his own。
They began to descend; Monsieur Defarge going first with the lamp; Mr。 Lorry closing the little procession。 They had not traversed many steps of the long main staircase when he stopped; and stared at the roof and round at the walls。
‘You remember the place; my father? You remember ing up here?
‘What did you say?'
But; before she could repeat the question; he murmured an answer as if she had repeated it。
‘Remember? No; I don't remember。 It was so very long ago。'
That he had no recollection whatever of his having been brought from his prison to that house; was apparent to them。 They heard him mutter; ‘One Hundred and Five; North Tower;' and when he looked about him; it evidently was for the strong fortress…walls which had long enpassed him。 On their reaching the courtyard he instinctively altered his tread; as being in expectation of a drawbridge; and when there was no drawbridge; and he saw the carriage waiting in the open street; he dropped his daughter's hand and clasped his head again。
No crowd was about the door; no people were discernible at any of the many windows; not even a chance passer…by was in the street。 An unnatural silence and desertion reigned there。 Only one soul has to be seen; and that was Madame Defarge……who leaned against the door…post; knitting; and saw nothing。
The prisoner had got into a coach; and his daughter had followed him; when Mr。 Lorry's feet were arrested on the step by his asking; miserably; for his shoemaking tools and the unfinished shoes。 Madame Defarge immediately called to her husband that she would get them; and went; knitting; out of the lamplight; through the court…yard。 She quickly brought them down and handed them in ;……and immediately afterwards leaned against the door…post; knitting; and saw nothing。
Defarge got upon the box; and gave the word ‘To the Barrier!' The postilion cracked his whip; and they clattered away under the Feeble over swinging lamps。
Under the over…swinging lamps……swinging ever brighter in the better streets; and ever dimmer in the worse……and by lighted shops; gay crowds; illuminated coffee…houses; and theatre…doors; to one of the city gates。 Soldiers with lanterns; at the guard…house there。 ‘Your papers; travellers!' ‘See here then; Monsieur the Officer;' said Defarge; getting down; and taking him gravely apart; ‘these are the papers of monsieur inside; with the white head。 They were consigned to me; with him; at the………' He dropped his voice; there was a flutter among the military lanterns; and one of them being handed into the coach by an arm in uniform; the eyes connected with the arm looked; not an every…day or an every…night look; at monsieur with the white head。 ‘It is well。 Forward!' from the uniform。 ‘Adieu!' from Defarge。 And so; under a short grove of feebler and feebler over swinging lamps; out under the great grove of stars。
Beneath that arch of unmoved and eternal lights; some; so remote from this little earth that the learned tell us it is doubtful whether their rays have even yet discovered it; as a point in space where anything is suffered or done: the shadows of the night were broad and black。 All through the cold and restless interval; until dawn; they once more whispered in the ears of Mr。 Jarvis Lorry……sitting opposite the buried man who had been dug out; and wondering what subtle powers were for ever lost to him; and what were capable of restoration……the old inquiry:
‘I hope you care to be recalled to life?'
And the old answer:
‘I can't say。'

BOOK THE SECOND
THE GOLDEN THREAD
CHAPTER I
Five Years Later
TELLSON'S Bank by Temple Bar was an old…fashioned place; even in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty。 It was very small; very dark; very ugly; very inmodious。 It was an old…fashioned place; moreover; in the moral attribute that the partners in the House were proud of its smallness; proud of its darkness; proud of its ugliness; proud of its inmodiousness。 They were even boastful of its eminence in those particulars; and were fired by an empress conviction that; if it were less objectionable; it would be less respectable。 This was no passive belief; but an active weapon which they flashed at more convenient places of business。 Tellson's (they said) wanted no elbow…room; Tellson's wanted no light; Tellson's wanted no embellishment。 Noakes and Co。's might; or Snooks Brothers' might; but Tellson's; thank Heaven!………
Any one of these partners would have disinherited his son on the question of rebuilding Tellson's。 In this respect the House was much on a par with the Country; which did very often di
