So Pierre said he'd go out and get some. He was gone about half an hour; when he came back, he had a carton, and some hot pork sandwiches. He'd gotten them at the same place as the cigarettes Art Igoe's lunch-stand." "Could Igoe verify that?" "It wouldn't help if he did. Igoe's place isn't a five-minute drive from Rivers's, farther down the road." "Has Pierre a lawyer?" Rand asked. "No. Not yet.
I tell you, there ain't a judge on the bench that wouldn't listen to what we can show about him hounded by police, hounded by the District Attorney, driven from pillar to post, and " "You will have a chance to tell the story in court," cut in Carton. "Pomeroy will try the case."
Edison the precise meaning of each slightest variation in the lines. I have taken up and elaborated his idea. By examining them under the microscope one can analyze each tone with mathematical accuracy and can almost hear it just as a musician reading the score of a song can almost hear the notes." "Wonderful," ejaculated Carton.
As its silent track in the water disappeared, the prayer that had broken up out of his heart for a merciful consideration of all his poor blindnesses and errors ended in the words: "I am the Resurrection and the Life." 'He that believeth in Me ... whosoever believeth in Me! the insistent demand for faith. 'He that believeth in Me! Sydney Carton believed and found peace.
On the last page of his book Dickens tells us what Sydney Carton would have seen and said if, on the scaffold, it had been given him to read the future.

Philip Carton, after he parted company with Jasper, walked back to where Rodney was still selling papers. "Give me a paper," he said. "Which will you have?" "I am not particular. Give me the first that comes handy. Ah, the Evening Sun will do."
