Whatever gloss the various spectators put upon theinterest, according to their several arts and powers of selfdeceit,the interest was, at the root of it, Ogreish.Silence in the court! Charles Darnay had yesterday pleaded NotGuilty to an indictment denouncing him (with infinite jingle andjangle) for that he was a false traitor to our serene, illustrious,excellent, and so forth, prince, our Lord the King, by reason of hishaving, on divers occasions, and by divers means and ways,assisted Lewis, the French King, in his wars against our saidserene, illustrious, excellent, and so forth; that was to say, bycoming and going, between the dominions of our said serene,illustrious, excellent, and so forth, and those of the said FrenchLewis, and wickedly, falsely, traitorously, and otherwise eviladverbiously, revealing to the said French Lewis what forces oursaid serene, illustrious, excellent, and so forth, had in preparationCharles Dickens ElecBook Classics A Tale of Two Citiesto send to Canada and North America. This much, Jerry, with hishead becoming more and more spiky as the law terms bristled it,made out with huge satisfaction, and so arrived circuitously at theunderstanding that the aforesaid, and over and over againaforesaid, Charles Darnay, stood there before him upon his trial;that the jury were swearing in; and that Mr. AttorneyGeneral wasmaking ready to speak.The accused, who was (and who knew he was) being mentallyhanged, beheaded, and quartered, by everybody there, neitherflinched from the situation, nor assumed any theatrical air in it. Hewas quiet and attentive; watched the opening proceedings with agrave interest; and stood with his hands resting on the slab ofwood before him, so composedly, that they had not displaced a leafof the herbs with which it was strewn. mens north face denali
The court was all bestrewnwith herbs and sprinkled with vinegar, as a precaution againstgaol air and gaol fever.Over the prisoner’s head there was a mirror, to throw the lightdown upon him. Crowds of the wicked and the wretched had beenreflected in it, and had passed from its surface and this earth’stogether. Haunted in a most ghastly manner that abominableplace would have been, if the glass could ever have rendered backits reflections, as the ocean is one day to give up its dead. Somepassing thought of the infamy and disgrace for which it had beenreserved, may have struck the prisoner’s mind. Be that as it may, achange in his position making him conscious of a bar of lightacross his face, he looked up; and when he saw the glass his faceflushed, and his right hand pushed the herbs away. cheap the north face It happened that the action turned his face to that side of thecourt which was on his left.
