I mean I am a man of more- more--" ¡¡¡¡"Say gallantry, while you are about it," suggested Carton. ¡¡¡¡"Well! I'll say gallantry. My meaning is that I am a man," said Stryver, inflating himself at his friend as he made the punch, "who cares more to be agreeable, who takes more pains to be agreeable, who knows better how to be agreeable, in a woman's society, than you do." ¡¡¡¡"Go on," said Sydney Carton. ¡¡¡¡"No; but before I go on," said Stryver, shaking his head in his bullying way, "I'll have this out with you. You've been at Doctor Manette's house as much as I have, or more than I have. Why, I have been ashamed of your moroseness there! Your manners have been of that silent and sullen and hangdog kind, that, upon my life and soul, I have been ashamed of you, Sydney!" ¡¡¡¡"It should be very beneficial to a man in your practice at the bar, to be ashamed of anything," returned Sydney; "you ought to be much obliged to me." ¡¡¡¡"You shall not get off in that way," rejoined Stryver, shouldering the rejoinder at him; "no, Sydney, it's my duty to tell you- and I tell you to your face to do you good-that you are a de-vilish ill-conditioned fellow in that sort of society. You are a disagreeable fellow." ¡¡¡¡Sydney drank a bumper of the punch he had made, and laughed. ¡¡¡¡"Look at me!" said Stryver, squaring himself; "I have less need to make myself agreeable than you have, being more independent in circumstances. Why do I do it?"
