Our Mutual Friend Book 2 Chapter 5 - Mercury Prompting

from The Dickens Library · host Charles Dickens

In which we encounter the cunning and reserved Fascination Fledgeby, whose calculating nature is revealed through a brisk dialogue with Mr Lammle and a visit to his servant Riah’s humble counting-house. Amidst a backdrop of quiet city roofs, the gentle presence of Jenny Wren and Lizzie Hexam casts a contrasting light of industry and innocence upon the scene, elevating the commonplace to something quietly remarkable.
