In Chapter 14 of Book the Third, what evidence of nationalistic pride does Dickens reveal?A Tale of Two Cities

In Book the Third, Chapter XIV, of A Tale of Two
Cities, the nefarious Madame Defarge, concerned that her husband's sympathies
for his old master prevent her husband from allowing Dr. Manette to fall under the
fateful blow of the guillotine, plots to ensure that all the Evremonde family be
exterminated.  Telling La Vengeance to have her usual chair ready with her knitting in
place for the executions, Mme. Defarge sets out to kill Lucie Manette.  In the meantime,
the loyal and loving Miss Pross remains with Jerry Cruncher lest suspicions be aroused
by their leaving after the carriage with Mr. Lorry and Lucie and her family has already
left. Just as Miss Pross returns to the house and reaches for a basin of water with
which to relieve her swollen and red eyes, she spots Madame Defarge watching her.  When
Madame Defarge demands to know where the wife of Evremonde is, Miss Pross
loyally stations herself before Lucie's chamber door,
saying,

"You
might, from your appearance, be the wife of Lucifer....Nevertheless, you shall not et
the better of me. I am an Englishwoman.....You wicked foreign woman; I am your
match.

Miss Pross, the
stalwart and devoted servant of Lucie Manette, depicts the characteristic English
determination and pride felt by many in Victorian England, a period of great power for
the country.  So typical of the nationalistic pride is her insistence that she is
superior to Madame Defarge that it rings of Lord Wellington's later insistence that he
could beat Napoleon  at Waterloo in 1815 even though he was far
outnumbered.
