"no, dear doctor manette. like you, a voluntary exile from france; like you, driven from it by its distractions, oppressions, and miseries; like you, striving to live away from it by my own exertions, and trusting in a happier future; i look only to sharing your fortunes, sharing your life and home, and being faithful to you to the death. not to divide with lucie her privilege as your child, companion, and friend; but to come in aid of it, and bind her closer to you, if such a thing can be."
