It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. With these famous words, both Charles Dicken's novel and the movie begin. Sydney Carton, an alcoholic lawyer, is called upon to take the case of a French emigre named Charles Darnay, who has been falsely charged of treason. Charles is the nephew of the Marquis St. Evremonde, one of the most cruel aristocrats in France. The Marquis paid a man named Barsad to place the false charges on his nephew, who had fled to England to be out from under his tyranny. He has to leave behind his tutor, Gabelle, in France, but promises to help him come to England later.

He was forced to write the letter by the Revolutionaries, hoping to lure Charles to France. He goes at once, only sending a note to Lucie.
