While these things were happening in London, the one city of this tale, other very different events were occurring in the other city of the story -- Paris, the French capital.
The indifference and harsh oppression of the court and the nobles toward the poor had gone on increasing day by day, and day by day the latter had grown more sullen and resentful.
