Doctor Manette, look upon the prisoner. Have you ever seen him before?" ¡¡¡¡"Once. When he called at my lodgings in London. Some three years, or three years and a half ago." ¡¡¡¡"Can you identify him as your fellow-passenger on board the packet, or speak to his conversation with your daughter?" ¡¡¡¡"Sir, I can do neither." ¡¡¡¡"Is there any particular and special reason for your being unable to do either?" ¡¡¡¡He answered, in a low voice, "There is." ¡¡
¡¡"Has it been your misfortune to undergo a long imprisonment, without trial, or even accusation, in your native country, Doctor Manette?" ¡¡¡¡He answered, in a tone that went to every heart, "A long imprisonment." ¡¡¡¡"Were you newly released on the occasion in question?" ¡¡¡¡"They tell me so." ¡¡¡¡"Have you no remembrance of the occasion?"
