A Tale of Two Cities Chapter 16 - Two Promises

from The Dickens Library · host Charles Dickens

In which we observe the diligent and modest Mr Charles Darnay, who has carved out a respectable life in London as a tutor of French, and witness his tender yet cautious love for Lucie Manette, tempered by reverence for her father's feelings. We accompany him in a delicate and heartfelt discourse with Doctor Manette, wherein promises are exchanged amidst a gently clouded veil of past sorrows and present hopes.
