In A Tale of Two Cities, what was Cruncher's message, and what was the reply?

You can find the answer to this question in Chapter 2 of
Book the First, as Mr. Jarvis Lorry, the mysterious individual in the Dover mail who
works for Tellson's Bank receives his message from Jerry Cruncher. It is important to
note how Dickens shrouds this episode with dark, brooding mystery, and how he uses the
setting to do this. Note how Dickens creates this scary
location:

There was a steaming mist in all the hollows,
and it had roamed in its forlornness up the hill, like an evil spirit seeking rest and
finding none. A clammy and intensely cold mist, it made its slow way through the air in
ripples that visibly followed and overspread one another, as the waves of an unwholesome
sea might do.

Note how
descriptions such as this combined with the deliberate way that Dickens does not explain
the message or the answer both create a real mystery. Cruncher's message, therefore, is
"Wait at Dover for Mam'selle." The response he receives, made more important by its
capitalisation, is "RECALLED TO LIFE." As Jerry Cruncher himself comments, it is a
"blazing strange answer," but we later find out in Chapter 4 that the message refers to
the discovery of Dr. Manette, the father of Lucy Manette, the woman that Mr. Lorry is
just about to meet in Dover. Having been jailed for a long period of time, he has been
finally released, and therefore, metaphorically, "recalled to
life."
