red-haired man said not another word
Everyone in the court could see that Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay were indeed very similar.
'Well then, ' said Mr Stryver, 'it is so easy to find a man like the prisoner that we can even find one in this room. So how can you be so sure that it was the prisoner you saw in that hotel?'
And the red-haired man said not another word.
The lawyers talked and argued, and when at last the trial came to an end, Jerry Cruncher had fallen asleep.
But Mr Lorry woke him up and gave him a piece of paper. 'NOT GUILTY' were the words written on it, and Jerry hurried back to Tellson's Bank with the message.
Sydney Carton seemed to be a man who did not care about anyone or anything. He was Mr Stryver's assistant. In fact, he did most of the real work for Mr Stryver. Stryver was good at speaking at a trial, but he was not good at discovering important facts and details, especially when these details were hidden in a lot of papers. Every night Carton studied the many papers that lawyers have to read, and he wrote down the questions which Stryver should ask
Diamond tools at the next day's trial. And every day Stryver asked these questions, and people thought how clever he was.
