At the end of the book, when he and Miss Pross are escaping from Paris and are still uncertain about the safety of the others, Jerry Cruncher begins to repent his grave robbing and his sometimes violent criticism of his wife's flopping (praying), which he had considered as "agin his prosperity." He came to this condition through having been accused by Mr. Lorry of grave robbing, by the fear that they all experienced in their flight from Paris, and by seeing Sydney Carton in his determination to sacrifice his own life for that of Charles Darnay.

Charles Dickens and Ellen Ternan had a discreet and controversial relationship while Dickens was still married. After Dickens's death, Ternan lived a quiet life out of the public eye and avoided discussing their relationship. The details of their romance were not well-documented, leaving much speculation and mystery surrounding their relationship.

An author would be least likely to reveal all the details of the impending event or outcome too early in the story, as this would reduce suspense and tension. Keeping the reader in the dark, hinting at possible outcomes, and slowly building up the anticipation would be more effective in creating a sense of dread or unease.
