The book has become even more interesting to read because I have a noticed that the characters have many secrets and I can't wait to find out what those secrets are. For example Mr. Darnay tries to tell something about himself to Doctor Manette but Manette doesn't want to hear it and therefore say: "Tell me when I ask you, not now". I wonder what Darnay was about to say but maybe I will find it out later.
Mr. Darnay tells Dr. Manette that he is in love with Lucie but hasn't told her about his love. Darnay and Dr. Manette have a conversation about the subject and Dr. Manette approves Darnay to be his son-in-law. But Darnay is not the only one who wants to marry Lucie. Mr. Styver tells Mr. Lorry that he wants to marry Lucie and Mr. Styver thinks that he won't have any problems to marry Lucie.
Young Jerry Cruncher decides to find out where his father goes in the night time and follows his father. Young Jerry finds out that his father and some other men go to a grave yard and they dig up a coffin. I don't know what is inside the coffin but evidently the contents doesn't please Jerry's father because Mr. Cruncher claims that her wife has prayed against him and therefore he batters his wife.
In Paris, the Mender of the roads who had seen "the man" (apparently the killer of the Marquis) underneath Monsieur the Marqui's carriage is having a discussion with the five men who are called Jaques. They seem to be interested in knowing what has happened to "the man". I don't know why they are interested in the man but I think that it will become clear later.
I still wonder why Mr. Cruncher thinks that his wife prays against him. If I have understood right, the wife prays for him.

I think Cruncher is a very superstious man who thinks his wife is against him. This is because of the church looking upon the graves he digs up. He feels as though he's being watched by God and he blames this on his wife.
I agree with you about how everyone seems to have a secret. This book is strangely based alot on secrets and it will be interesting to find out more about them.
I think that Jerry Cruncher gets mad at his wife's praying because he doesn't want to believe that he is doing something wrong. He also thinks that she is praying against him.
I kind of agree with what these guys said and how Mr. Cruncher thinks he's being prayed against because he doesn't want to admit that he's doing wrong. I think that he wants a scapegoat, someone else to blame for the way he's made his life.
I was somewhat confused by the part when the mender of roads was talking about the guy he saw under the carriage. Was he just making that up? Because I thought he was the one that followed and killed the Marquis and that was why the Jaques were interested in him. I'm not sure though...that part confused me...
I also agree with you (and Rosalia) that everyone seems to have a secret, but I believe that these secrets will be revealed eventually.
