Mr. Lorry came silently forward, leaving the daughter by the door. When he had stood, for a minute or two, by the side of Defarge, the shoemaker looked up. He showed no surprise at seeing another figure, but the unsteady fingers of one of his hands strayed to his lips as he looked at it (his lips and his nails were of the same pale lead-colour), and then the hand dropped to his work, and he once more bent over the shoe. The look and the action had occupied but an instant.

`You have a visitor, you see,' said Monsieur Defarge.

The shoemaker looked up as before, but without removing a hand from his work.

`Come!' said Defarge. `Here is monsieur, who knows a well-made shoe when he sees one. Show him that shoe you are working at. Take it, monsieur.'

`Tell monsieur what kind of shoe it is, and the maker's name.'

There was a longer pause than usual, before the shoe-maker replied:

`I forget what it was you asked me. What did you say?'

`I said, couldn't you describe the kind of shoe, for monsieur's information?'
