Jail

My father and I have arrived in Paris. We came in order to speak with Mr. Lorry, now that he has also moved work to Paris, and because we have received the terrible news that my Charles was put in jail. Although I know it is not safe here, I refuse to leave without my love. I am extremely worried for Charles. I hear he is being held at La Force, and as both my father and Lorry are acting secretive and strange I know I need to worry. Mr. Lorry has decided to place me and my father in a nearby lodging so we can be close and hopefully my father can assist in helping Charles out of prison. As for me, I have just met with Madame Defarge. I remember her as the woman knitting in the wine shop, but knew no more of her until today. She said she wanted to familiarize herself with me in order to protect me in the future, but I am still uncertain why I need protection. However, both Madame Defarge and the woman with her give me an uneasy feeling, I am confused of their motives.
Today, however, I did receive a note from my beloved Charles that told me to take courage. It is good to know he is thinking of me, but I still fear greatly for him.
