What did the poor old lady in A Tale of Two Cities tell Monsieur Marquis at carriage door?

The poor old lady in *A Tale of Two Cities* didn't actually speak to Monsieur Marquis at the carriage door. Instead, she fell under the wheels of his carriage. This incident, which resulted in her death, served as a stark reminder of the stark inequality and cruelty prevalent in pre-revolution France.

The story highlights the callous disregard for the poor and the devastating consequences of the aristocracy's privilege.
