Your uncle is disposed to be pleased with you in every respect; and I only wish you would talk to him more. You are one of those who are too silent in the evening circle." ¡¡¡¡ "But I do talk to him more than I used. I am sure I do. Did not you hear me ask him about the slave-trade last night?" ¡¡¡¡ "I did--and was in hopes the question would be followed up by others. It would have pleased your uncle to be inquired of farther." ¡¡

¡¡ "And I longed to do it--but there was such a dead silence! And while my cousins were sitting by without speaking a word, or seeming at all interested in the subject, I did not like-- I thought it would appear as if I wanted to set myself off at their expense, by shewing a curiosity and pleasure in his information which he must wish his own daughters to feel."

Carton's hand moved back to his breast no more. The prisoner sprang up with a reproachful look, but Carton's hand was close and firm at his nostrils, and Carton's left arm caught him round the waist. For a few seconds he faintly struggled with the man who had come to lay down his life for him; but, within a minute or so, he was stretched insensible on the ground. ¡¡¡¡Quickly, but with hands as true to the purpose as his heart was, Carton dressed himself in the clothes the prisoner had laid aside, combed back his hair, and tied it with the ribbon the prisoner had worn. Then, he softly called, "Enter there! Come in!" and the Spy presented himself. ¡¡¡

¡"You see?" said Carton, looking up, as he kneeled on one knee beside the insensible figure, putting the paper in the breast: "is your hazard very great?" ¡¡¡¡"Mr. Carton," the Spy answered, with a timid snap of his fingers, "my hazard is not that, in the thick of business here, if you are true to the whole of your bargain." ¡¡¡¡"Don't fear me. I will be true to the death."

And that is--?" ¡¡¡¡"That she thinks he has." ¡¡¡¡"Now don't be angry at my asking all these questions; because I am a mere dull man of business, and you are a woman of business." ¡¡¡¡"Dull?" Miss Pross inquired, with placidity. ¡¡¡¡Rather wishing his modest adjective away, Mr. Lorry replied, "No, no, no. Surely not. To return to business:- Is it not remarkable that Doctor Manette, unquestionably innocent of any crime as we are an well assured he is,

should never touch upon that question? I will not say with me, though he had business relations with me many years ago, and we are now intimate; I will say with the fair daughter to whom he is so devotedly attached, and who is so devotedly attached to him? Believe me, Miss Pross, I don't approach the topic with you, out of curiosity, but out of zealous interest." ¡¡¡¡"Well! To the best of my understanding, and bad's the best, you'll tell me," said Miss Pross, softened by the tone of the apology, "he is afraid of the whole subject." ¡¡¡¡"Afraid?"

The girls had gone home, when my name burst into bloom on Traddles's door; and the sharp boy looked, all day, as if he had never heard of Sophy, shut up in a back room, glancing down from her work into a sooty little strip of garden with a pump in it. But there I always found her, the same bright housewife; often humming her Devonshire ballads when no strange foot was coming up the stairs, and blunting the sharp boy in his official closet with melody. ¡¡¡¡I wondered, at first, why I so often found Sophy writing in a copy-book; and why she always shut it up when I appeared, and hurried it into the table-drawer. But the secret soon came out.

One day, Traddles (who had just come home through the drizzling sleet from Court) took a paper out of his desk, and asked me what I thought of that handwriting? ¡¡¡¡'Oh, DON'T, Tom!' cried Sophy, who was warming his slippers before the fire. ¡¡¡¡'My dear,' returned Tom, in a delighted state, 'why not? What do you say to that writing, Copperfield?' ¡¡¡¡'It's extraordinarily legal and formal,' said I. 'I don't think I ever saw such a stiff hand.'

'My dear Copperfield,' said Traddles, leaning back in his chair when they were gone, and looking at me with an affection that made his eyes red, and his hair all kinds of shapes, 'I don't make any excuse for troubling you with business, because I know you are deeply interested in it, and it may divert your thoughts. My dear boy, I hope you are not worn out?' ¡¡¡¡'I am quite myself,' said I, after a pause. 'We have more cause to think of my aunt than of anyone. You know how much she has done.' ¡¡¡¡'Surely, surely,' answered Traddles. 'Who can forget it!' ¡¡

¡¡'But even that is not all,' said I. 'During the last fortnight, some new trouble has vexed her; and she has been in and out of London every day. Several times she has gone out early, and been absent until evening. Last night, Traddles, with this journey before her, it was almost midnight before she came home. You know what her consideration for others is. She will not tell me what has happened to distress her.'
