Pleasure Reading . "A Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens. Book the Second: The Golden Thread Chapters 14-24

One day a man, Cruncher, who worked for a Tellson's Bank saw a strange group of people, going down the street ( actually it was a funeral procession ).  The dead man was Roger Cly,  a person, who was against Darnay in the court case several years ago. After the bury, Cruncher, a simple mind man, (but rather sharp mind )and with a desire to avenge a comrade, he went to the cemetery and  dug up the body of that man, just to sell it to some black-scientists. During this night adventure, his son was also with him, following father's steps and as a young boy was surprised 'cause of such deal and told his father, that he'll be a "ressurection man" and father was.  At this time, in Paris, Defarge had found the hidden place of Doctor Mannete in the wine shop and joined other people. The also had known a stroy about poor man , who assassinated  Marquis ( Gaspar)  . He was on the run for a long time, but unfortunately had been caught and  hanged  in the middle of the town. The time period was unstable, but aristocracy  was in blind state.  Defarge and his wife toke the mender of roads to Versailles to see King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. Mender was absolutely pleased and praised the king . This performance pleased the Defarges, who had understood, that aristocracy was on the wrong way, believing in  peasantry's obedience .Then, they had returned to their home, continuing their secret mission to raise the mass in the name of Revolution ( but they had to meet an opponent , the spy Barsad, who came to their shop as an ordinary revolutionary .He told them about Lucie's marriage. Doctor Mannete was absolutely happy 'cause of such great daughter Lucie and her future husband and began to forget about his past times in prison. Few days before the marriage Doctor Mannete came into strange health stage, he became lost and pale, and a new pair of Lucie and Charles was afraid, that they had to stay with the father, despite some plans to  go on a honeymoon. The relapse was caused by the Mannete past times - the main item , which had an ability to restore Doctor's painful memories was the forge with its tools, and by the Lorry's scenario they had to keep Doctor away from that thing  ( to go on a honeymoon ) and just to destroy them during the absence of a Doctor. After the Darneys arrival back home they were met by Carton, who wanted them to forgive him and to establish good relationships, as it was some years ago. Darnay was angry , but nevetheless he claimed his wife to respect Carton and forger about past mistakes. After some years the Darnay family has a new member - their daugher Lucie.  By 1789, the echoes reverberated “from a distance” and made a sound “as of a great storm in France with a dreadful sea rising". The revolutionary times has come. The Bastille Castle was under the attack, and the leader of one group of people was the Defarge family, who captured the building, killing guards and rescuing imprisoned people. The furious fire of the mass was lighted up and the country of France became the area, surrounded by revolutionaries. A wealthy man in the town of Saint Antonie was found dead in at his own house by the mod, leading towards the landowners by madame Defarge with her new nickname - the Vengeance. The rage of the mass was unlimited and the whole countryside was attacked by peasants army. An old note with unknown name Jacques - was the symbol of this rebellious mass, and each revolutionary was named Jacques. The fire of saint rage was around the castle of Evremonde - the murder, revenge, revenge and madness continued. After some years of instability  in France, an England had become a safety land for many people a good political and economical shelter. Tellson wanted Lorry to go to France and establish there a stable status of a Tellson's bank filial and to protect many of papers and notes from fire and crazy citizens . Darnay didn't want to leave Lorry alone and decided to accept this mission, only if Crucnher would go with him ( and Lorry received a strange letter from Evremonde, and had no chance to understand the location of this man, but actually Darnay was that person in fact, but he decided to hide this fact from Lorry and created a legend of a friend. A pea of Darnay, who was imprisoned in France, chanted for a help and Darnay decided to save his old friend.
