  1. Book 2 Chapter 14 The honest Tradesman Lauren Quigley

  2. Summary • A funeral passes by Tellson’s Bank and Jerry Cruncher questions the situation and discovers that Roger Cly, a convicted spy and one of the men who testified against Darnay in his court case is being buried. That night Jerry Cruncher tells his wife he is going fishing when he is really going to dig up Rogers body to sell to scienists. His son follows his into the graveyard but becomes afraid that the coffin is chasing him and he questions his father the next day.

  3. Literary Devices • A similie is on page 157- “I've seen him. Dead is he? Dead as a mutton returned the other.” • Imagery is on page 161- “towards that small and ghostly hour, he rose up from his chair, took a key out of his pocket, opened a locked cupboard, and brought forth a sack, a crowbar of convenient size, a rope and chain, and other fishing tackle of that nature. Disposing these articles about him in a skillful manner, he bestowed a parting defiance on Mrs. Cruncher, extinguished the light, and went out.” • A simile is on page 163- “It was making the whole night behind him dreadful, he darted out into the roadway to avoid dark alleys, fearful of its coming hopping out of them like a dropsical boy’s- Kite without tail and wings.”

  4. Essential quote • On page 159 – “If a honest tradesman, my wenturs goes wrong to-night, I shall make sure that you’ve been praying again me, and I shall work you for it just the same as if I seen you do it.”
