Later that night, I am re-arrested. It's because of a letter written by Dr. Manette linking me to Dr. Manette's own imprisonment. While I am sentenced to death, I count down the hours until being placed on the guillotine and thinking of Lucie and I write a letter to my wife and father-in-law. When  it is 3:00, I will be carried to the guillotine. At 1:00, however, I hear Sydney's footsteps coming towards the door. He wants me to change clothes with him. I am very doubtful that his plan will work. Sydney then hurriedly tells me to write a letter that he tells him what to write. The letter says that I have to make good on a promise that I once gave. The reader will not forget the promise. He wants to be assured that she's glad that the time has come for him. Then, I smell a stange smell. There is a bottle in Sydney's hand. I try to take out his hands, but Sydney is too quick.
