ملف:T2C Fred Barnard, Miss Pross et Lucie.jpg

 وصف قصير

Dickens describes the relationship between the beautiful Lucie Manette and her older friend — almost a surrogate mother — Miss Pross, who dotes upon the teenager, calling her "Ladybird" and generally doting upon her as if Lucie were her daughter in A Tale of Two Cities, Book the Second, "The Golden Thread," ch. 6, "Hundreds of People." Taking into account the lengthy title of the illustration, "And smoothing her rich hair with as much pride as she could possibly have taken in her own hair if she had been the vainest and handsomest of women" (p. 45), the reader would likely make the connection between this eighth woodcut and the following passage that begins on the facing page:

Miss Pross was a pleasant sight, albeit wild, and red, and grim, taking off her darling's bonnet when she came up-stairs, and touching it up with the ends of her handkerchief, and blowing the dust off it, and folding her mantle ready for laying by, and smoothing her rich hair with as much pride as she could possibly have taken in her own hair if she had been the vainest and handsomest of women.
