I have no feeling either way. Can I spare him?" ¡¡¡¡"He would count as one head," observed Jacques Three, in a low voice. "We really have not heads enough; it would be a pity, I think." ¡¡¡¡"He was signalling with her when I saw her," argued Madame Defarge; "I cannot speak of one without the other; and I must not be silent, and trust the case wholly to him, this little citizen here. For, I am not a bad witness." ¡¡¡¡The Vengeance and Jacques Three vied with each other in their fervent protestations that she was the most admirable and marvellous of witnesses. The little citizen, not to be outdone, declared her to be a celestial witness. ¡¡¡¡"He must take his chance," said Madame Defarge. "No, I cannot spare him! You are engaged at three o'clock; you are going to see the batch of to-day executed.- You?" ¡¡¡¡The question was addressed to the wood-sawyer, who hurriedly replied in the affirmative: seizing the occasion to add that he was the most ardent of Republicans, and that he would be in effect the most desolate of Republicans, if anything prevented him from enjoying the pleasure of smoking his afternoon pipe in the contemplation of the droll national barber. He was so very demonstrative herein, that he might have been suspected (perhaps was, by the dark eyes that looked contemptuously at him out of Madame Defarge's head) of having his small individual fears for his own personal safety, every hour in the day. ¡¡¡¡"I," said madame, "am equally engaged at the same place. After it is over- say at eight to-night- come you to me, in Saint Antoine, and we will give information against these people at my Section."
