Charles Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities: Book III Chapters 3-8 (pages 246-284)

Charles Darnay has spent almost 16 months in the prison before he is asked to come to his trial.
During his time in prison, he writes letters to Lucie and he even sees Lucie from a distance when she stands at a certain place in fornt of the prison. Lucie comes every day to the place because she wants that Charles can see her.

The trial seems to be only a cold comfort for him because many people have been convicted to death without any proper reason. However, Darnay is found to be not guilty-mostly because of the help he gets from Dr. Manette and Mr. Gabelle.

Charles cann't enjoy his freedom for very long time because he is arrested again because he is denounced by Mr. and Mrs. Defarge and someone else whose name is not revealed.
After Charles has been arrested for the second time, it is found out that Solomon (who is brother to Mrs. Pross) is same person as Mr. Barsad.

I wonder what Sydney Carton wants to speak to Mr. Barsad when he says him: "Come into the dark room here, and let us have one final word alone."
