DEFARGE UP IN THE GARRET WE CONCEAL A MAN WHO HAS DONE HIS TIME. SEVENTEEN YEARS IN THE BASTILLE. BUT NO ONE CAN NAME HIS CRIME. HE WAS A SIMPLE COUNTRY DOCTOR CALLED ON TO AID A GIRL IN NEED BEATEN AND RAPED AND LEFT TO BLEED NOTHING THE DOCTOR WOULD DO COULD SAVE HER LIFE NOR HER YOUNG BROTHER WHO FELL DEFENDING HER AND THE TWO NOBLEMEN WHO HAD DONE THIS CRIME ONLY THE DOCTOR COULD SAY JUST WHO THEY WERE. THESE TWO ARISTOCRATS HAD HOPED THE DOCTOR COULD CURE THEIR CRIME NOW WITH THE TWO YOUNG VICTIMS DEAD THEY SINNED A FOUL SECOND TIME FEARING THAT HE'D REVEAL THEIR SHAME THEY GAURANTEED HE'D LAY NO BLAME! SEVENTEEN YEARS IN A CELL WITHOUT A TRIAL SEVENTEEN YEARS WE HAVE TRIED TO LEARN THEIR NAME I WAS HIS SERVANT; A BOY OF EIGHTEEN. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN HE DISSAPPEARED I SEARCH IN VAIN FOR THE TRUTH OF HIS FATE HE HAD GONE THERE TO DO GOOD GONE TO HELP SOMEONE IN NEED NO KINDNESS WAS EVER REPAID WITH SO DEADLY A DEED! HE'S FREE NOW BUT STILL IN CHAINS DR. MANETTE'S LOST HIS MIND HE RAMBLES ON ABOUT SOME PAPER HE MUST FIND WRITTEN SO LONG AGO HIDDEN BEHIND HIS CELL WALL THAT PAPER IS THE PROOF OF THINGS HE CAN'T RECALL I'LL FIND THAT NOTE ONE DAY THE DAY THE BASTILLE FALLS!
