Dr. Manette thanks the doctor for his good health. He says that even though his daughter is different from the rest of the village, she is no child of misfortune. He tells the doctor that he has come to teach his daughter how to be helpful to the doctor. The doctor says that he found what he was looking for, and he's come to do exactly what he intended. He asks the doctor to come with him, but the doctor tells him that he can leave the village and go with him.
