A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities1935



[after Darnay is acquitted, Jarvis Lorry, Jr. shakes his hand]

Jarvis Lorry Jr.:
My boy, never for a moment did I doubt your innocence.

Sydney Carton:
So, Mr. Lorry, respectable men of business may speak to Mr. Darnay in public, now he's acquitted.

Jarvis Lorry Jr.:
You have mentioned that before, sir. We men of business must think of the house we serve more than ourselves.

Sydney Carton:
Yes, yes. Banking, of course, imposes its own restrictions and silences.

Jarvis Lorry Jr.:
And, indeed, sir, I don't know that it is any of your business.

Sydney Carton:
Oh, bless you, I have no business.

Jarvis Lorry Jr.:
And if you had, sir, perhaps you would attend to it.

Sydney Carton:
Lord love you, no I wouldn't!
