"Dear Mr Manette, I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestedly, devotedly. If ever there were love in the world, I love her. You have loved yourself; let your old love speak for me!" (186)
This quote is significant because this is foreshadowing future plot. This is Mr Darnay admitting his love for Lucie to her father and asking him to help Mr Darnay and Lucie get together. This quote thickens the plot of the currently present love triangle. This foreshadows future arguments and fights over Lucie's love. Along with Mr. Manette's reaction to Mr Darnay being in love with his daughter. The plot continues to thicken.
