A Disappointement: Miss Manette Testifies

Miss Manette tells the court of her encounter with the prisoner. "He told me he was travelling on business of a delicate and difficult nature, which might get people into trouble, and that he was therefore travelling under an assumed name". She tells of the jest made by the prisoner, namely that "perhaps George Washington would gain almost as great a name in history as George the Third". Her father, Dr Manette, is then called to testfiy.

Jerry Cruncher, meanwhile, has taken "quite a lunch of rust off his fingers" during the trial, which sparks the question, where does all this rust come from?
