Chapter 3: As Mr. Lorry rides in a mail coach with two strangers, he drifts in and out of dreams. Most revolve around Tellson's bank. In one of the dreams, he imagines visiting a ghost's grave, whose body has lain buried for eighteen years. Informing the ghost that he has been recalled to life, Mr. Lorry repeatedly asks him if he cares to live.
Chapter 4: Mr. Lorry reaches the Royal George Hotel in Dover as a well-dressed businessman of 60 years old. He is scheduled to meet Lucie Manette from London there. Believing her father to dead, Mr. Lorry reveals the news that he has been found alive, upon her arrival. In shock by the news, Lucie requires attendance.
Chapter 5: Mr. Lorry and Lucie travel from Dover, England to Saint Antoine, Paris. They enter a wine shop owned by Monsieur Defarge, who is busy with three regular customers. After Defarge deals with the men, Mr. Lorry approaches Defarge, who leads him and Lucy to a steep staircase. Up the stairs and down the hall sits a white-haired man busily making shoes.
Chapter 6: The shoemaker, Manette, is revealed to be Lucie's father, but he has gone mad after being a prisoner of war for so long. Lucie approaches him, and Manette first mistakes her for his wife. Telling him she is and of the home that awaits him, he begins to remember his daughter. Mr. Lorry at first protests Lucie's desire to take her father back home immediately to England, but she is able to eventually persuade him.
