Pleasure Reading . "A Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens. Book the Second: The Golden Thread Chapters 1 - 6

After the arrival of Lorry and Lucie to London with her new-find father we have to teleport in 1780 year, and the narrator tells us about Tellson's bank , that was in very bad place to make deals and a very unstable economical condition. Jerry Cruncher, who worked for Tellson familyy as a bottle-washer, had a mission to visit  the Old Bailey Courthouse in order to hear and see the trial, connected with the criminal action of Charles Darnay, a young aristocratic man (French immigrant )  - he was guilty in the deal of treason ( and this was the turning point for the story and personally for Darnay). The judges accused his as a person, who gave some secret information to Loius XVI's  about English plans to send their military troops to the battlefield of US. And strangely, Lorry and Lucie came to this place to protect this young man. The most important part of judges, prosecution witnesses, who could prove the term "corruptibility of the conspirators" , such as  an attorney  general and solicitor-general with John Barsad practically had a heavy-weight methods of running the trial-deal, using controversial arguments and facts. But the different part of the court had some strong doubts . Lorry and Lucie also had their stands, during which they told the judges some uncertain assumptions and scattered ideas,  but she trying to help young men, told them about Darnay's support during the trip ( especially with her ill father ), but she unwittingly  even aggravated   the case, telling the court about some severe and stinging phrases,  Darnay's quotes  (  his statement that George Washington’s fame might one day match that of George III). The trial was very close to the failure, but another man, Sydney Carton, who was very ambitious lawyer, who decided to protect young soul.  Darnay was practically imprisoned, however, when a witness who claimed,that  he can to recognise Darnay in any pose at and any place  was just unable to recognize Darnay  from this Sydney Carton, who was looking critically identical to Darnay and Mr. Darnay was acquitted . Then the whole group of people came out of this place with glory, Darnay remembered his bright feelings to Lucie and even the reputation was resurrect ,  but the dark times had already came. After that Sydney and Stryver had a talk with some alcohol, talking about their today's trial and discuss their ways of doing this case, and remembering their days at school, having fun and so on. But Carton still was that shy and gloomy man, jumping from the negative to positive ( and during the talk he said, that had some feelings to young Lucie. Aftet some time Lorry and his freidn came to Manette house to talk with Lucie and during her absence he had a brief talk with Miss Pross, and the main theme of their discussion was the choice of love for young Lucie ( Pross said, that hundreds of young men came here to meet this lovely creature, but nobody of them can be with her, the ideal was only her brother, a brave and aristocratic Solomon). Darney was a worker in the Tower of London and one he was in the Tower of London, working with some specific stone-job, had discovered a hole in the wall with the words DIG - and also found a strange piece of paper with a special message from an imprisoned person. The story ,written on the list shocked  Manette.
