In chapter six, Miss Pross is describing some people that come over to the house in which she claims seems like “hundreds of people” and that is an exaggeration because there is only a few that come over. Someone asks Dr Manette about his past and it almost seems as if he is afraid to remember his past again for some reason. The title of this chapter; Hundreds of People I think has some meaning to it besides the fact that Miss Pross is complaining of people over to the house.
Monseigneur, a king, has a party one night in Paris. He makes it seem like the party of the year and has lots of guests and fancy things there. At the party Monseigneur and one of the guests, Marquis get into a argument over something. Then when Marquis leaves, his carriage runs over a little boy and kills him. Marquis doesn’t think much of it and tosses the boy’s dad a few coins for his troubles. The dad throws one of the coins back and hits Marquis. Does this tell you how messed up this guy is?

I think that if I was the father, I'd probably throw the gold coin back anyways, no matter how hungry and starving I was. The Marquis can't pay for a child's life. It's not like he ran over the kids bicycle. No amount of money can ever replace the life of that child, and for the Marquis to think that the father would be happy to recieve such a "wonderful blessing" from him...I don't even know what to say...The Marquis was blind.
that was possible the worst blog ever.. you telling me thats all sparknotes had on that chapter?? anyways.. for the one question you did ask.. yes, it is suppose to tell us how messed up Marquis is. Nobody in their right mind would think that they could cover the grief of losing a child with money.
Jake,
Can you tell me why you're behind on your blogs? The two that you do have were written on the same day? Falling behind??? Too much hunting????
