A Tale of Two Cities Quote

[after Darnay is acquitted, Jarvis Lorry, Jr. shakes his hand]

Jarvis Lorry Jr.: My boy, never for a moment did I doubt your innocence.

Sydney Carton: So, Mr. Lorry, respectable men of business may speak to Mr. Darnay in public, now he's acquitted.

Jarvis Lorry Jr.: You have mentioned that before, sir. We men of business must think of the house we serve more than ourselves.

Sydney Carton: Yes, yes. Banking, of course, imposes its own restrictions and silences.

Jarvis Lorry Jr.: And, indeed, sir, I don't know that it is any of your business.

Sydney Carton: Oh, bless you, I have no business.

Jarvis Lorry Jr.: And if you had, sir, perhaps you would attend to it.

Sydney Carton: Lord love you, no I wouldn't!
