¡¡¡¡"I was weak and faint when you brought me in, and I am fainter now you take me out. The parting interview has overpowered me. Such a thing has happened here, often, and too often. Your life is in your own hands. Quick! Call assistance!" ¡¡¡¡"You swear not to betray me?" said the trembling Spy, as he paused for a last moment. ¡¡¡¡"Man, man!" returned Carton, stamping his foot; "have I sworn by no solemn vow already, to go through with this, that you waste the precious moments now? Take him yourself to the courtyard you know of, place him yourself in the carriage, show him yourself to Mr. Lorry, tell him yourself to give him no restorative but air, and to remember my words of last night, and his promise of last night, and drive away!" ¡¡¡¡The Spy withdrew, and Carton seated himself at the table, resting his forehead on his hands. The Spy returned immediately, with two men. ¡¡¡¡"How, then?" said one of them, contemplating the fallen figure. "So afflicted to find that his friend has drawn a prize in the lottery of Sainte Guillotine?" ¡¡¡¡"A good patriot," said the other, "could hardly have been more afflicted if the Aristocrat had drawn a blank." ¡¡¡¡They raised the unconscious figure, placed it on a litter they had brought to the door, and bent to carry it away. ¡¡¡¡"The time is short, Evremonde," said the Spy, in a warning voice. ¡¡¡¡"I know it well," answered Carton. "Be careful of my friend, I entreat you, and leave me." ¡¡¡¡"Come, then, my children," said Barsad. "Lift him, and come away!"
