Mr. Lorry now arrived in Dover safe and sound and stayed at
the hotel. He also reserved a room for a young lady, Miss Manette, who would
arrive later in the evening. Miss Manette came from London with her friend Miss
Pross. Miss Pross was older than Manette. Miss Manette got a letter from the
Bank telling her that she was to get some property from her father who died
long time ago. She was supposed to accompany Mr. Lorry to Paris, the capital city
of France. Miss Mannette wanted the details of the odd business from Mr. Lorry.
Then he told the story of her father. In reality, her father was still alive.
He didn’t die as Miss Manette thought. He just disappeared when she was born
and her mother suffered a lot pain and went searching for him until she was
dead. Actually her parents had no any property for her to get from. Her father
was found alive and was almost a wreck presently. He was living in the house of
an old servant in one of the wine shops in Paris. Mr. Lorry told Manette that
they were supposed to get him and restore him to life and live a happy life.
When hearing this story, Miss Manette felt really shocked and fainted on the
chair. Suddenly while the two of them were talking, an old woman who was a
friend of Miss Manette came in. She had red hair and looked old. She came in in
order to
stop Mr. Lorry from continuing telling the story to Manette. Mr. Lorry then tried to comfort Miss Manette
and later walked away. They were prepared to go to Paris to look for the
father. Then the journey began.
