Quotations:
"Oh, Solomon, dear Solomon! After all these years—here and now!”
Miss Pross to Solomon

"Don’t call me Solomon! Do you want to be death of me?”

Solomon to Miss Pross

"Brother, brother! Why do you ask me such a cruel question?”

Miss Pross to Solomon

"Then hold your tongue, pay for your merchandise and come outside if you want to speak to me.”

Solomon to Miss Pross

“I knew you were here, sister. I know of most people who are here. If you don’t want to put my life in danger, go your way as soon as
possible and let me go mine. I’m an official and cannot risk being recognized.”

Solomon to Miss Pross

“Heaven knows that I only want the best for you, Solomon! Just give me one kind word and say you’re not angry, and I’ll keep you no
longer!”

Miss Pross to Solomon

“May I ask you something? Is your name Solomon John, or John Solomon?”

Jerry Cruncher to Solomon

“I’ve seen you at the Old Bailey. You were a spy-witness and I could swear your name is John Something.”

Jerry Cruncher to Solomon

“Do not be alarmed, Miss Pross. I arrived here yesterday, to Mr. Lorry’s surprise. We agreed that I would not present myself until all
was well or unless I could be useful. I’d like to have a little talk with your brother, although I hope for your sake, Miss Pross, that he
wasn’t prowling around undercover within the prison walls.”

Sydney Carton to Miss Pross

“I saw you, Mr. Barsad, coming out of the Conciergerie, and I remember faces well. Curious, I followed you into the café and sat near
you. I deduced from your unreserved conversation, as well from the rumors about you, that you are indeed a spy. It is clear now that

Chapter 9- Death to the Marquis’s nephew 1

 my curiosity had a purpose.”

Sydney Carton to John Barsad

"I told you you had a memorable face”

Sydney Carton to John Barsad

Sydney Carton to Mr. Lorry

“I know a great deal about you.”

Sydney Carton to John Barsad

“My ace card, is that I know enough about you to report you to the citizens committee.”

Sydney Carton to John Barsad

Mme. Defarge to Dr. Manette

you strove against for your daughter’s sake. I thank you with my heart for your love and duty. Heavens be with you!”
