¡¡¡¡Doctor Manette took what was given him to eat and drink, and worked on, that first day, until it was too dark to see- worked on, half an hour after Mr. Lorry could not have seen, for his life, to read or write. When he put his tools aside as useless, until morning, Mr. Lorry rose and said to him: ¡¡¡¡"Will you go out?" ¡¡¡¡He looked down at the floor on either side of him in the old manner, looked up in the old manner, and repeated in the old low voice: ¡¡¡

¡"Out?" ¡¡¡¡"Yes; for a walk with me. Why not?" ¡¡¡¡He made no effort to say why not, and said not a word more. But, Mr. Lorry thought he saw, as he leaned forward on his bench in the dusk, with his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands, that he was in some misty way asking himself, "Why not?" The sagacity of the man of business perceived an advantage here, and determined to hold it.
