      A Tale of Two Cities - Heather Justesen

      center

      The guard raised his pistol when he heard a horse coming up behind them.

      Recalled to Life

      It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the season of light, it was the season of darkness. It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.

      It was the year 1775. One king ruled France, and another king ruled England.

      In France, the people could hardly recall the last time their stomachs had been full. They lived in fear of their rulers, who had the power to arrest and execute anyone they wanted to. Deep in the forests, trees grew that would someday be cut down to make a terrible machine that would execute those rulers!

      In England, robbers roamed the countryside. The prisons were full, and the executioner was busy. Killers were executed, but so were people who may have only stolen a few pennies! The American colonies were causing problems, too. They believed England’s king didn’t have the right to rule them!

      One night, in this year 1775, the coach to Dover waited on a hill. The driver was giving the horses a few minutes rest. The guard sitting next to him kept one hand on a locked chest and the other on his pistol. Mr. Lorry, a passenger, stood below. He was an older man wearing an odd wig too small for his head.

      They heard a horse approaching. Pistol raised, the guard turned to peer into the darkness.

      Mr. Lorry, are you there? a voice called.

      Is that you, Jerry? asked Mr. Lorry.

      Jerry rode up. His stiff black hair stood in spikes around his head. I’ve brought a message from Tellson’s Bank.

      ’Doctor Manette’s daughter will meet you in Dover,’ Mr. Lorry read from the note. "Take my reply back to Tellson’s, Jerry. Tell them: Recalled to Life."

      That’s an odd message, grumbled Jerry. He turned and rode off.

      As the coach bumped along the road, Mr. Lorry dreamed that he was digging the doctor out of a grave. Sometimes he dug with a shovel, sometimes with a key. The doctor’s ghost pulled itself from the grave. When Mr. Lorry reached out to help, the ghost fell into dust!

      Mr. Lorry snapped awake. Doctor Manette has been buried alive for eighteen years! he thought. Is there anything left of him to save?

      The next morning, he met the doctor’s daughter at a Dover inn. Lucie Manette had the same bright eyes he remembered her having as a child.

      My father died years ago, said Lucie. Then, yesterday, Tellson’s wrote that I must return to France. Some of my father’s property has been found, and I must claim it!

      That isn’t the real reason you must return, said Mr. Lorry. "The truth is we’ve found your father. He’s
