"He had a good leg, and was a little vain of it, for his brown stockings fitted sleek and close, and were of a fine texture; his shoes and buckles too, though plain, were trim. He wore an odd little sleek crisp flaxen wig, setting very close to his head..." This quote gives a vivid description of Jarvis Lorry's physical features.  (Chapter 4) - Clark. 

"His linen, though not of a fineness in accordance with the stockings, was as white as the tops of waves that broke upon the neighboring beach, or the specks of sail that glinted in the sunlight far at sea." This quote is another describing Lorry's appearence, particularly his clothes.  Dickens uses a great simile to compare Lorry's linen to the white tops of waves. (Chapter 4) - Clark 

"'A--a--a--business, business!'  he urged, with a/ moisture that was not of business shining on his check." (chapter 5. pg. 42)- This quote of Mr. Lorry reapeating the wqord business over and over again and his studdering shows that he is nervous.  He is so nervous during this time because he is a rich man that is not accustumed to being in a so called dump.- Bryant

"A face habitually / supressed and quieted was still lghted up under the/ quant wigby a pair of moist bright eyes that must have/ cost the owner, in years gone by, some pains to drill/ to the composed and reserved expression of Tellson's Bank." (Chapter 4. pg. 21)- This quote shows how over the years Mr. Lorry has had to become more reserved to fit his job but by shownig his eyes as having a sparkle in them meaning that deep down inside he used to be an exciting person but he has had to change over the years to fit his job.

     -Bryant 

" I kiss your hand, mis, " said Mr. Lorry, with the manners of an earlier date", this quote allows the readers to better understand the age difference between Mr. Lorry and Miss Manette (Chapter 4. 24). Mr. Lorry first met Miss Manette seventeen years ago, because of his formal bow and kiss of the hand we are able to decipher as readers the "business" realtionship they have and the chivalrous persona Mr. Lorry posses. - Sheridan

" I hope," said Mr. Lorry, after another pause of feeble sympathy and humility, this quote paints Mr. Lorry as a human (Chapter 4. 31). Many business men during this time period were ruthless and only wanted one thing, money; which was understandable because the economy was so poor. Mr. Lorry cares for his clients which might be one of his greatest flaws, but it because of his large heart and affection for his clients he must constanly remind himslef that things are just "business". - Sheridan 

"Shaking himself out of it in chains of straw, a tangle of shaggy wrapper, flapping hat, and muddy legs, was rather like a larger sort of dog"(Chapter 4.21).  This quote gives us a clear picture of what Jarvis Lorry looked like when he finished his trip.  He looked like anything but a proper businessman, but this filth symbolizes the past and what had always been in the back of his mind.  The mud and "chains of straw" was Lucie and Dr. Mannette's storey that covered him.  This journey though is the first step of Mr. Lorry becoming clean and gaining closer.  -Megan

"Very orderly and methodical he looked, with a hand on each knee, and a loud watch ticking a sonorous sermon under his flapped waistcoat, as though it pitted its gravity and longevity against the levity and evanescence of the brisk fire" (Chapter 4. 21).  This quote shows Mr. Lorry as a man with a purpose.  No action is wasted as he just calmly sits.  His pocket watch is a sign of a true business man who keeps to a schedule and does not waste time because "time is money". -Megan

"... a gentleman of sixty, formally dressed in a brown suit of clothes, pretty well worn, but very well      kept, with large square cuffs and large flaps to the pockets, passed along his way to his      breakfast." (Chapter 4. pg 21). This quote paints partially an image of Jarvis, mostly in part with      the accordance of his wear. It also sends the message that Mr. Lorry is of the middle-class, as      he doesn't dress elegantly but he is tactful in his appearance. -Eric Macchi

 "'I kiss your hand, miss.' said Mr Lorry, with the manners of an earlier date, as he made his formal bow again, and took his seat." (Chapter 4. pg. 23). This is an idirect characterization as it shows that along with being an older gentleman (of the age sixty, as previously mentioned), Jarvis  Lorry acts old-fashioned too. Reading deeper into the quote though, one can also interpret his motions, how he bows twice, as nervous tendencies in his actions. This point can also be noted in other unmentioned occurances. -Eric Macchi

        "'and so/ it was for this, my sweet Lucie, that I brought you across/ the channel, such a baby! Lord bless me!'" (chapter 18, pg. 198) explanation: This quote is aquote that is spoken by Mr. Lorry on Lucie Mannettes wedding day to Charles Darnay. Throughout the novel Mr. Lorry has been concieved as a very business-like man with very few emothions. But here, Mr. Lorry pours out his emotions and his feelings as he talks about taking Lucie across the english Channel as a baby and he talks about her beauty which he has never really done before.  It just shows a\nother side of Mr. Lorry that we as a reader have not seen yet and again Lucie brings out the best in a person but this time it is Mr. Lorry, not Darnay or her father. -Bryant

       "'Excuse me, as a persistant man of business. Assum-/ ing for a moment that he was overworked; it would show/ itself in some renewal of this disorder?'" (chapter 19, pg. 209) explanation: This qoute shows how Mr. Lorry still sees himself as a man of business even though he now cares for the Mannettes.  But at the same time it shows how Mr. Lorry sees Dr. Mannete as worn down and tired and that he thinks that the Dr. needs abrake and to be set free from his old life.  This foreshadows the breaking of Dr. Mannettes work bench that is to come. -Bryant

“As a man of business I am not justified in saying anything… but as an old fellow who has carried Miss Manette in his arms… I have spoken” (chapter 12).

By telling Mr. Stryver that he should not ask to marry Lucie he shows that he is more than just the man of business he claims to be. By letting the reader her Mr. Lorry speak is indirectly characterizes him as a kind hearted caring person on a deeper level than just his business personality.- Will

“Mr. Lorry went into his room with a chopper, saw, chisel, and hammer…and hacked the shoemaker’s bench to pieces” (chapter 19).

Once again this shows Mr. Lorry’s emotional side by describing the characters action. Mr. Lorry cares so much for Dr. Manette he is willing to do what ever it takes to save him from relapsing to his prison state of mind. It is possible that by destroying the bench it could cause Dr. Manette pain but Mr. Lorry is willing to take that chance for the long-term improvements of his beloved friend.-Will

“Firstly …on fine Sundays, he often walked out…with Doctor and Lucie; secondly…he was accustomed to be with them as a family friend…; thirdly … he happened to have his own little shrewd doubts to solve…”(2.6) - - This is showing Mr. Lorry as a good friend to the Manettes. He spends time with them, and is around them often. (Elisabeth McClaskey)

“Mr. Lorry was a pleasant sight too, beaming at all this in his little wig.”(2.6) - - This is describing Mr. Lorry while he was at the Manette’s house. He wears a wig, and was very happy at this moment in time. (Elisabeth McClaskey)
