Just at that moment a bank clerk put an old, unopened letter on Mr Lorry's desk, and Darnay happened to see the name on it:The Marquis of Evrémonde, at Tellson's Bank,
London. Since his uncle's death, this was Darnay's real name. On the morning of his wedding to Lucie he had told Dr Manette, but the Doctor had made him promise to keep his name secret. Not even Lucie or Mr Lorry knew.
'We can't find this Marquis, ' said the clerk.
'I know where to find him, ' said Darnay.'Shall I take the letter'
'That would be very kind, ' said Mr Lorry.
As soon as he had left the bank, Darnay opened the letter. It was from Monsieur Gabelle, who had been arrested and taken to Paris.
就在这时一个银行职员把一封旧的,没有打开的信放在了劳里先生的桌子上。代尔那正巧看见了信封上的名字,上面写着:伦敦,台尔森银行•埃弗蒙侯爵。在他叔叔死后,这就成了代尔那真正的名字。在他和路茜举行婚礼的那天早晨他就告诉了马内特医生,但是医生自己答应将他的名字保密。所以,甚至路茜和劳里先生都不知道。
“我们找不到这个侯爵。”那个职员说。
“我知道上哪儿去找他。”代尔那说。“可以把这封信给我吗”
“那真是太好了。”劳里先生说。
一离开银行,代尔那就打开了信。信是加贝尔先生写来的,他已经被抓了起来而且被送到了巴黎。
