Daniel Deronda Chapter 66

In which the troubled figure of Lapidoth returns to his children’s abode, bringing with him the bitter weight of past failings and the restless, haunting impulses of his gambling habit. Ezra confronts his father with a solemn and unyielding reckoning, while Mirah, torn between dread and duty, endeavours to offer shelter and a semblance of forgiveness amidst the shadows of their shared history.
