seven o'clock
Having ascertained its situation , Carton came out of those closer streets again , and dined at a place of refreshment and fell sound asleep after dinner . For the first time in many years , he had no strong drink . Since last night he had taken nothing but a little light thin wine , and last night he had dropped the brandy slowly down on Mr. Lorry 's hearth like a man who had done with it . It was as late as seven o'clock when he awoke refreshed , and went out into the streets again . As he passed along towards Saint Antoine , he stopped at a shop-window where there was a mirror , and slightly altered the disordered arrangement of his loose cravat , and his coat-collar , and his wild hair . This done , he went on direct to Defarge 's , and went in . There happened to be no customer in the shop but Jacques Three , of the restless fingers and the croaking voice .
