It was dark when Darnay left Dr Manette, and it was some time later when Lucie and Miss Pross came home.
'Father, ' Lucie called, 'where are you' She heard no answer, but there were strange sounds coming from her father's bedroom Frightened, she ran upstairs and found her father, pale and silent, busy at his old prison work of making shoes. The shadow of the Bastille had fallen on him again. She took his arm and spoke gently to him, and together they walked up and down for a long time until at last Dr Manette went quietly to bed.
