“A rumour just lived in the village- had a faint
and bare existence there, as its people hadthat when the knife struck home, the faces
changed, from faces of pride to faces of
anger and pain; also, that when that
dangling figure was hauled up forty feet
above the fountain, they changed again, and
bore a cruel look of being avenged, which
they would henceforth bear for ever.”
St. Antoine citizens are turning
towards a revolution after
witnessing the hanging of Gaspard
above the fountain, turning their
efforts towards avengement.

Tomorrow, Madame Defarge will “register” this spy. He is
described as follows “Age, about forty years; height, about five
feet nine; black hair; complexion dark; generally, rather
handsome visage; eyes dark, face thin, long, and sallow; nose
aquiline, but not straight, having a peculiar inclination
towards the left cheek; expression, therefore, sinister.”
His name… John Barsad!
Question to consider:
1) What does Madame Defarge mean by “register” him?
2) Where have we met John Barsad before?
Question 5: Who is he spying for?

"It does not take a long time to strike a man with
Lightning," said Defarge.
"How long," demanded madame, composedly, "does
it take to make and store the lightning? Tell me."
Defarge raised his head thoughtfully, as if there were
something in that too.
"It does not take a long time," said madame, "for an
earthquake to swallow a town. Eh well! Tell me how
long it takes to prepare the earthquake?"
"A long time, I suppose," said Defarge.
"But when it is ready, it takes place, and grinds to
pieces everything before it. In the meantime, it is
always preparing, though it is not seen or heard.
That is your consolation. Keep it.“

A stranger enters, Madame Defarge pins a
rose into her headdress and customers
leave the wine shop. “catching site of
that novelty, they faltered, made a
pretence of looking about as if for some
friends who was not there, and went
away.” What is the rose all about?
Madame Defarge laughs looking at the stranger “age
forty, height about five feet nine, black hair, generally
hadnsome visage, complexion dark, eyes dark, thin long
and sallow face, aquiline nose but not straight…”

• John Barsad orders a glass of port
cognac and remarks how wonderful
it tastes which was the “first time it
had ever been so complimented.”
What does Madame Defarge infer
from this?
He compliments the Madame
Defarge’s knitting pattern. “You
think so?” said Madame Defarge,
looking at him with a smile. What
is the irony?

Barsad tries to get Madame Defarge to
show her disloyalty to the aristocracy,
provoking her with comments like,“Ah
the unfortunate miserable people. So
oppressed, too– as you say… A bad
business this, madame, of Gaspard’s
execution. Ah! The poor Gaspard!”
Madame doesn’t buy into his tactics and
plays “the fool,” responding “if people
use knives for such purposes, they have
to pay for it. He knew beforehand what
the price his luxury was, he has paid the
price.”

“Good day, Jacques” the spy
repeated.
“You mistake me for another. That is
not my name. I am Earnest
Defarge.”
Why would Barsad refer to Defarge
as Jacques? And why wouldn’t
Defarge respond, remember he
earlier said to Lorry “show him to
men of my name, Jacques is my
name.” (Question 2)
And Madame Defarge is still…
knitting

Barsad tries to get Defarge to admit that there is
“much sympathy and anger” about Gaspard’s
death. What is Barsad trying to do?
“pick up crumbs he could find, or make, did not
allow his baffled state to express sinister face;
but, stood with an air of gossiping gallantry.”
Question to Consider:
Do you think there’s any irony in Dicken’s word
choice? Remember that the village is starving.

him.”

Darkness closed around, and then
came the ringing of church bells
and the distant beating of
military drums in the Palace of
the courtyard, as the women sat
knitting, knitting…the voice of
Power and Plenty, Freedom, and
Life….their very selves were
closing in round a structure yet
unbuilt, where they were to sit
knitting, knitting, counting
dropping heads.
What is being foreshadowed?
