Book the First

18 years

2. What else do we know of this man who has been “buried”?
Lorry Jarvis is supposed to recall him, Dr. Manette, to life. He has been "dead" to all those who knew him because he was in prison, he changed his name, and he has been in the room in the wine-shop for so long.

3. What are the two conditions concerning Dr. Manette? 
He has forgotten everything from his past and has been living alone for a very long time, under a different name, "buried," if you will. He is supposed to be "recalled to life" by Jarvis and brought back into civilization.

4. Who are the proprietors of the wine-shop?
Defarge and his wife are the proprietors of the wine-shop.

5. Why does Defarge show Dr. Manette to the “Jacques”?
They all have the name Jacque, which is his name, and a good name in his opinion, and Defarge thinks showing Dr. Manette to the "Jacques" will do them well.

6. What is Dr. Manette doing when they enter his room?
He is making a pair of lady's shoes. He is hard at work when they enter and doesn't barely notice their entrance.

7. What does Dr. Manette say his name is? What is the significance of what he says?
He says his name is One Hundred and Five, North Tower. This was the prison where he was a prisoner.
