<Li> Jerry Cruncher: Porter and messenger for Tellson's Bank and secret "Resurrection Man" (body - snatcher); though rough and abusive towards his wife, he provides courageous service to the Manettes in Book the Third . His first name is short for Jeremiah; the latter name shares a meaning with the name of Jarvis Lorry . </Li> <Li> Jarvis Lorry: A manager at Tellson's Bank: "...a gentleman of sixty...Very orderly and methodical he looked...He had a good leg, and was a little vain of it ..." He is a dear friend of Dr. Manette and serves as a sort of trustee and guardian of the Manette family . The bank places him in charge of the Paris branch during the Revolution, putting him in position to provide life - saving service to the Manettes in Book the Third . The end of the book reveals that he lives to be eighty - eight . </Li> <Ul> <Li> Lucie Manette: Daughter of Dr. Manette; an ideal pre-Victorian lady, perfect in every way . About seventeen when the novel begins, she is described as short and slight with a "pretty figure, a quantity of golden hair, a pair of blue eyes ..." Although Sydney Carton is in love with her, he declares himself an unsuitable candidate for her hand in marriage and instead she marries Charles Darnay, with whom she is very much in love, and bears him a daughter . However, Lucie genuinely cares about Carton's welfare and defends him when he is criticized by others . She is the "golden thread" after whom Book the Second is named, so called because she holds her father's and her family's lives together (and because of her blond hair like her mother's). She also ties nearly every character in the book together . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Lucie Manette: Daughter of Dr. Manette; an ideal pre-Victorian lady, perfect in every way .
