1 Book 3 Chapter 1 In Secret

2 In Secret… There were new laws that were passed in France, Charles not knowing before he made his to way to Paris from England. He ends ups getting locked up because emigrants don’t have any rights.

3 Summary Charles Darnay’s journey to Paris from England to save his housekeeper who was imprisoned. A local functionary and three armed patriots in red caps, demands an escort, because he is an aristocrat Taken to the guardhouse where other patriots were smoking, drinking, and sleeping, there he paid the escort price, then Charles and the escort is off to Paris. They came by a town of Beauvais, seeing a crowd of threatening citizens that were gathered to see the presence of Charles the “cursed emigrant” When they finally reached the walls of Paris the barrier was closed and strongly guarded. An officer tells him he will be sent to La Force Prison When he arrives he was sent to his own cold, damp cell At the moment he realizes he was buried alive and that he was left for death

4 Literary Devices foreshadow- “Let him be! He will be judged at Paris” (253) Simile- “Now am I left, as if I were dead.” (262) Imagery – “one of the patriots being chronically drunk, and carrying his musket very recklessly” (253)

5 Essential Quote “Not a mean village closed upon him, not a common barrier dropped across the road behind him, but he knew it to be another iron door in the series that was barred between him and England. The universal watchfulness so encompassed him, that if he had been taken in net, or were being forwarded to his destination in a cage, he could not have felt his freedom more completely gone.”
