'They say that the Revolution will do so much good for the poor people, 'said the girl. 'How can my death help the poor? If it is true, I am willing to die, but I do not know how that can be. I heard that you were set free, Citizen Evrémonde, 'she went on. 'I hoped it was true. '
“他們說革命會給窮人們帶來很多好處。”女孩說道。“我的死能幫窮人什么忙呢? 如果能，那么我樂意去死。但我不明白這怎么可能呢? 我曾聽說你被釋放了的，埃弗蒙公民。”她接著說。“我當時希望這是真的。”
'It was, but I was taken again, and condemned. '
“是真的，但又被抓起來了，而且宣判了死刑。”
'When we go from here, Citizen Evrémonde, will you let me hold your hand? I am not afraid but I am little and weak, and it will help to make me brave. 'The young girl looked into his face and he saw a sudden doubt come into her eyes, followed by surprise. He touched his lips with his finger.
“在我們從這兒走時，埃弗蒙公民，你能讓我抓住你的手嗎? 我不怕死，可是我又小又弱，所以那樣會讓我勇敢起來的。”年輕的姑娘看著他的臉，于是他發現她眼中忽然露出一絲懷疑，跟著便是驚訝。他用手指碰了碰嘴唇。
'Are you dying for him? 'she whispered.
“你為他去死嗎? ”她低聲問。
'And his wife and child. Yes. '

'Oh, will you let me hold your brave hand, stranger? '

'Yes, my poor sister, to the last. '

背景簡介:
第二天，法庭開庭審判。原告竟是梅尼特醫生自己和得代石夫婦。梅尼特醫生十分震驚，立即提出否認。這時，得代石卻不慌不忙地讀了一封梅尼特在監獄中親筆寫的控告信（這便是得代石在攻打巴士的獄時，從北邊高樓上撿到的。）
