Carton nodded, "I never keep anything valuable lying around." "Well," resumed Kennedy, "the photographs were in this cabinet. There are other cabinets, but none of them seems to have been disturbed. Therefore the thief must have known just what he was after. The marks made in breaking the lock were not those of a jimmy, but of a screwdriver.
Sir Lothian has made an evil name for himself since 'tis the same Sir Lothian who shot Lord Carton in the affair at Chalk Farm but in those days there was nothing against him. The oldest of us was but twenty-four, and we gamed on, as I say, until the Captain had cleared the board. We were all hit, but our host far the hardest.
We had not fairly done justice to the roast when a boy in buttons came down the line of tables. "Mr. Carton please." The District Attorney crooked his finger at the page. "You're wanted at the telephone, sir." Carton rose and excused himself.
Then she began to think of the words which had so persistently haunted Sydney Carton: "I am the Resurrection and the Life." She, too, seemed to be wandering about the Parisian streets, hearing these words over and over again. She knew that it was Jesus of Nazareth who had said this. What an assertion it was for a man to make!
Further down the hall, by the "office," Dorgan and Ogleby were storming, protesting that "influence" would "break" everyone concerned, from Carton down to the innocent patrolmen. Kennedy listened a moment, then turned to Clare Kendall. "I will leave Miss Blackwell in your care," he said quietly.
Death in twenty-four hours! That night Carton again came to Mr. Lorry. Between the two men, as they spoke, a figure on a chair rocked itself to and fro, moaning. It was Dr. Manette.

The end of Mr. Pordage, to bring to an end all I know about him, was, that he got great compliments at home for his conduct on these trying occasions, and that he died of yellow jaundice, a Governor and a K.C.B.
She had been used to a great deal as a child, but now, since the death of her father, she has had to go to work and you know what that means to a girl like that." Carton laid down a new photograph which the newspapers had not printed yet. Betty Blackwell was slender, petite, chic.
I could see that Carton was making a mental note that the practice would be ended as far as his office was concerned. "So you saw the story in the newspapers about Mr. Murtha," repeated the keeper, not displeased to see us and at the publicity it gave him.
I make this little preface, because you once mentioned the young lady to me in slighting terms." "I did?" "Certainly; and in these chambers." Sydney Carton looked at his punch and looked at his complacent friend; drank his punch and looked at his complacent friend. "You made mention of the young lady as a golden-haired doll. The young lady is Miss Manette.
