'Even so, he has been arrested and taken to the Conciergerie. And I'm not sure that Dr Manette's good name can save him this time. So we must have Mr Barsad's help. '

Let's think. Mr Barsad is a spy, and a prison guard, but he used to be a spy in England. Is he still paid by the English? '
让我们想一想,巴萨德先生是个间谍,也是一个监狱看守,但他在英国曾做过间谍 。他现在是否还被英国人雇佣呢? "
'No one will listen to you, 'said Barsad.
"没人会听你的 。"巴萨德说 。
'But I can say more, Mr Barsad, 'replied Carton.

Barsad had more problems than Carton knew. He could not return to England because he was wanted by the police there.

Most of those on her list had already been killed by the Guillotine, and Barsad did not want to be next.

艺术手法及其成就:
浸透感情的描写和议论:在描写中,行动描写和对话描写相结合,大笔勾勒与细笔精雕相结合 。如马奈特在顺境中显得能说会道、精神焕发、精明能干;在逆境中却显得沉默寡言、萎靡不振、神志不清 。在议论中倾向性明确、以古喻今、想打动读者惊醒读者的强烈愿望跃然纸上,感时愤俗的作者形象呼之欲出 。如写德伐石太太打苍蝇"像刺杀了一个敌人似的",表达了作者的厌恶感情 。
