You only get one question, I'm afraid; so I'll answer the
first, which I presume is the most important. In A Tale of Two
Cities, chapter 3, Jarvis Lorry is all bundled up in a coach with several
other riders. As he being jounced along the road, he has a dream. First, he's in the
familiar Tellson's Bank--the place in which he has invested his entire life. Then his
dream gets a bit odd.
A rather eerie figure appears in the
dream, something Lorry calls "a spectre." a similar event will happen three times in
the dream, with just a slight variation. Lorry begins to dig the man out, asking how
long he's been alive. The answer is "almost 18 years," and the spectre is asked if
he cares to be "recalled to life." The answers are yes, maybe, and no, a different
answer in each dream scenario. Jarvis also asks the spectre three times if he want to
see "her."
“Shall I show her to you? Will you come and see
her?”
The answer to this
varies each time, ranging from a strong yes to a definite
no.
These images will soon be revealed as real people and
real events in the novel.
