My dearest nephew Charles Darnay,
I hope this letter finds you well
I hear you had a lovely stay
Inside the walls of London's finest prison
I also hear it's quite a minor miracle
That you survived at all
Amazing, in fact
That you're still intact.
I further hear you've made
Some interesting friends
A doctor with a daughter
I wonder how they view your privileged past
Or if they know of it at all
Legend has it he was quite unjustly
Sent to prison
By members of your very own class
And then he lost his wits
What a shame...
I wonder if he'd recognize your name...
