Pleasure Reading . "A Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens. Book the Second: The Golden Thread Chapters 7–13

A lord Monseigneur came to Paris with all his pathos and superfluous bravado, guarded by dark-minded people - the greatest corrupt individuals both in Britain and in France. During the official reception at his house, filled with much excessive mush, one of the guests, marquis Evremonde decided to escape from this place and take a carriage. On the way home his carriage suddenly crashed into something. And it was a young child, already dead after the hit. In order to compensate the loss, Evremonde gave a coin to dead child's father  ( and another coin he gave to Defarge, who was near to console the  torture of a man. ) Then Evremonde came to the village of his patron ( an area with complete oppression and dictatorship politics ). During his way he had to meet some of peasants, asking him to help ( to give a stone in order to make a common grave and so on) , but the ignorance of marquise was eternal. The only thing he wanted that time - to know something about Charles Darnay  - who was marquis's nephew, just taking another surname .( Out of disgust with his family, Darnay shed his real surname and adopted an Anglicised version of his mother's maiden name, D'Aulnais ). Charles came to his with a strong desire to restore the family name and to get an inheritance and to destroy the bad fame of their Name, the Name of terror and fear, damaging living creatures bodies and souls, but the first answer of Evremonde was negative - he thought, that Charles should be natural and just to accept his destiny. After the incident on the road with the death of young boy, the victim of a gloom mind - the father of a boy, Gaspard decided to follow Evremonde's carriage , full of rage thoughts and revenge ideas. He could climb to his room later at night and gave marquise a critical deadly backstab with a knife, leaving a little note, saying  "Drive him fast to his tomb. This, from Jaques." A The time had passed and after some events Darnay became a teacher of French language at London school, having warm relationships with Mannette family  (especially with Lucie - he felt in love passion )  Doctor Mannet was confident in Charles's positive intentions to his daughter, and it was moment, when Charles even told them the true legend of his person and open the secret of his family, but nevertheless he didn't. (He will hear Darnay’s secret on his wedding day.) And in that time Carton also had feelings to Lucie and in his arrogant manner told Stryver during the drink-time, that he had a wish to marry Lucie. And the next day he went to Mannete house, but suddenly had to meet his old friend Lorry and opened the secret of his mission - but Lorry advised him to slow down a little , in order to understand future words of Lucie ( Lorry understood , that she was in love with Charles ). And he just give him a sign, that if Carton were to propose, the Manettes would reject his proposal. But nevertheless she came to Mannette house and had a talk with Lucie and told her, that she was the last dream of his gloomy and gray way. giving some heat to his life. With all Lucie's tenderness she could save his damned soul and bring a salvation light.
