>>5224062Sydney Carton did it in Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities". Although he was saving the whole Manette/Darnay family unit, not just Lucie's daughter, from the Reign of Terror. Traded places with Charles Darnay to save Lucie from being a grieving widow and at risk of being executed just by being associated with an aristocrat.And for all of his griping, Sinleq _does_ care for Tom beyond the fact that he's Caroline's son, and the boy in turn thinks the world of his uncle/godfather. That's also another grievance that Jean had against Sinleq when he snapped in the hospital ward. Tom was always asking when Uncle Sinny would come to visit, whether or not dad could ask Uncle Sinny if he could take a ride in the Magellan, and whether or not Uncle Sinny was coming to dinner to share stories of his adventures beneath the ocean.
