Chapter 17 van 45 · Book 2: The Golden Thread · 8 min leestijd voor het hoofdstuk
In Chapter 17, Lucie spends the evening before her wedding with Doctor Manette, who assures her that marriage strengthens rather than threatens their happiness and describes his thoughts during imprisonment. Their conversation joins her present devotion to his imagined daughter, while her nighttime visit shows both his outward calm and her continuing concern.
Wat er gebeurt
- Beneath the plane tree, Lucie asks her father whether her marriage can leave their bond unchanged.
- Doctor Manette assures her that her happiness brings him relief from fears that his suffering might restrict her life.
- He recalls watching the moon in prison and imagining a child who either forgets him or lovingly remembers him.
- He blesses Lucie, and they return indoors, where he enjoys supper and drinks affectionately to Charles.
- At three in the morning, Lucie visits her sleeping father, kisses him, and prays to remain faithful to him.
