In this chapter, we are introduced to the youngest son of the late Dr. Manette. He is called "Seigo" because of his resemblance to his father, and we learn that he is the son of one of the most powerful men in the world. He was born into a wealthy family, and his father taught him not to look at things, to listen to things, and to speak only when he wanted to. This lesson, he says, is what he learned from his father when he was a child, and he hopes that it will be the same lesson for his son. He tells his son that he will fight for him so that he can have a "straight and honest life" . He also tells him that his father has no part in his life, and that the rumor that he has been involved in some kind of collusion with a company has been disproved.
