and  had  left  his  country — he  submitted  before  the  word
emigrant  in  the  present  acceptation  by  the  Tribunal  was  in
use — ^to  hve  by  his  own  industry  in  England,  rather  than  on
the  industry  of  the  overladen  people  of  France.
What  proof  had  he  of  this  ?

He  handed  in  the  names  of  two  witnesses  :  Th^ophile
Gabelle,  and  Alexandre  Manette.
But  he  had  married  in  England.?  the  President  reminded
him.
True,  but  not  an  English  woman.
A  citizeness  of  France .''

Yes.     By  birth.
Her  name  and  family .''

"  Lucie  Manette,  only  daughter  of  Doctor  Manette,  the
good  physician  who  sits  there."

This  answer  had  a  happy  effect  upon  the  audience.  Cries
in  exaltation  of  the  well-known  good  physician  rent  the  hall.
So  capriciously  were  the  people  moved,  that  tears  immediately
rolled  down  several  ferocious  countenances  which  had  been
glaring  at  the  prisoner  a  moment  before,  as  if  with  impatience
to  pluck  him  out  into  the  streets  and  kill  him.
On  these  few  steps  of  his  dangerous  way,  Charles  Damay
had  set  his  foot  according  to  Doctor  Manette^s  i-eiterated  in-
structions. The  same  cautious  counsel  directed  every  step
that  lay  before  him,  and  had  prepared  every  inch  of  his  road.
The  President  asked,  why  had  he  returned  to  France  when
he  did,  and  not  sooner  ?

He  had  not  returned  sooner,  he  replied,  simply  because  he
had  no  means  of  living  in  France,  save  those  he  had  i-esigned ;
whereas,  in  England,  he  lived  by  giving  instruction  in  the
French  language  and  literature.  He  had  returned  when  he
did,  on  the  pressing  and  Avritten  entreaty  of  a  French  citizen,
who  represented  that  his  life  was  endangered  by  his  absence.
