Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko Defarge te kaiārahi o tōna hapori, ā, ka whai wāhi nui ki te ārahi i te iwi i runga i te
Te whakaekenga o te Bastille. Ka kitea e ia he pepa i roto i te ruma tawhito o Dr. Manette i te Bastille e tuhi ana he aha i mauheretia ai a Manette me wai hoki. Ko enei pepa e whakaatu tata ana ki te kaiwhakaari o te pukapuka, a Charles Darnay, i roto i te korero i te raupapa o nga mahi he me nga kohuru na tona papa me tona matua keke. Ko te mea kino ake, ko enei mahi kino i mahia ki te whanau o Madame Defarge, te wahine nanakia a Ernest, nana nei ia i whakaae kia whakahua a Darnay ki te guillotine. Ko te tikanga he pai, he pai hoki, ko Defarge e wehewehea ana e te pono ki tana wahine me te pono ki a Dr. Manette; kaore ia e mahi i tetahi mea hei aukati i te whanau a Manette ki te mawhiti i France, ahakoa te akiaki a Madame Defarge.
