Who's Who in A Tale of Two Cities

In Book the First of A Tale of Two Cities, we've met a handful of characters. Here they are, to review, in order of appearance in the book:

In England:

Mr. Lorry and Lucie meet, Book 1.

Mr. Jarvis Lorry, a banker with Tellson's bank. He is connected by business and affection to the Manette family.

Jerry Cruncher and his son.

 Lucie Manette, seventeen-year-old daughter of Dr. Manette, born in France but raised in England.


Jerry Cruncher, odd-job servant and messenger for Tellson's bank. He has a side business that makes him rather a grave man. 

Edna May Oliver as Miss Pross

Miss Pross, nanny, ladies' maid,  and fierce protector of Lucie Manette.








In France:

Monsieur and Madame DeFarge: Wine-shop owners, St. Antoine, Paris. Monsieur DeFarge, a "martial-looking" man, once worked for Dr. Manette. Madame DeFarge is a skilled knitter, "with a watchful eye that seldom seemed to look at anything."

Dr. Alexandre Manette, father to Lucie. Jailed in the Bastille for eighteen years, he is, as the novel opens, freed and "recalled to life."
