family has acted out of greed for as long as
the name has existed. We have harmed anyone who has stood in our way, and I
cannot stand the thought of being included in such a selfish brood. My uncle
rejected my statements, claiming that I should accept my destiny. My destiny
however, is to become a man of honor and good nature.

I must renounce my name
I owe my life to Sydney Carton

The End

The
last few months have very eventful, and I have not had much time to write. I
have returned to France, hoping to rescue dear Gabelle and at last free my self
of my cursed Evremonde name, and all that it is associated with. However, I was
greeted upon returning to France with the utmost unwelcome, and was imprisoned
in La Force, Dr. Manette’s former prison. At last I received my trial, and thank
heavens, I was acquitted! Had I not been, I was sure to have faced the
guillotine! But the vary next day, I was again sent to the stone cold chambers
of La Force. Upon my next trial, my name of Evremonde eventually condemned me.
By accident, Dr. Manette himself has sent me to the guillotine, cursing my
family in a letter he wrote years before. While I know this to be an accident,
and do not hold him accountable, to face my death and leave Lucie is a grave
feeling. No more will I hear her voice, feel her warm touch, or kiss her soft
lips. I leave this world unfairly and unjustly. I would hope others are able to
avoid a similar fate as mine. Goodbye Lucie, I love you.
