- Sydney Carton: It is a far far better better thing I do than I have ever done. It is a far far better rest I go to than I have ever known...
- Dr. Manette: This boy is dead.
- Marquis St. Evremonde: You may forget these serfs. I only wish to impress upon you, Doctor, that the things that you have seen and heard in this house or not to be spoken of. You would do well to mark that.
- Sydney Carton: You've not slept alone, doctor. I'm afraid it's this excellent wine of yours.
- Dr. Manette: I'm half undressed. I am truly most ashamed.
- Jarvis Lorry: I'm afraid we all partook a little too freely.
- Dr. Manette: Not you, Mr. Lorry?
- Sydney Carton: Worse than either of us. He lay back in the chair and snored loud enough to shame the thunder.
- Stryver: Did I remark that you were very sound in the matter of those crown witnesses today?
- Sydney Carton: I'm always sound.
- Stryver: I don't deny it. If to your talent you would only add purpose and energy!
