Stop spamming the question.

Post it once, with a title that has the question in it.

People will find it, and answer it. You're wasting time posting it so much.

Same as I answered the other time: One can conclude that her speech was "nice" (rather a limp word) in that it indicated her preference for Darnay was not because she didn't care for Sydney, but because her heart belonged to Darnay.

Darnay's relationship with Lucie Manette demonstrates powerful love and affection. In the book, he and Sydney Carton both demonstrate their intense love for Lucie; Darnay by his constant gratitude, devotion, and concern for her well being, and Carton by sacrificing his life. In turn, Lucie loves Darnay as her husband and with all her heart, but feels deep sympathy and affection for Carton because of his struggles in life and his hidden thoughtfulness and emotion. The relationship between Darnay and Carton is a difficult one, in large part because of Carton's refusal that he will ever do any good in his life and his reckless attitude. The two are friends, but the fact that they're opposites is a sense of tension. They achieve a sense of calm, though, after Lucie tells Darnay to be gentle with Carton and consider his weathered heart. After Carton meets with the guillotine in Darnay's place, Darnay is forever indebted and grateful to him.

Darnay's good intentions and innocence always come through in A Tale of Two Cities. He renounces his wealthy and cruel family, thus abandoning the tyranny of the aristocracy, and willingly returns to the dangerous city of Paris in order to rescue the man he'd left in charge of his family's estate after he renounced it. The best sense of Darnay's character comes from studying his actions and his relationships.
