Our Mutual Friend Book 3 Chapter 2 - A Respected Friend in a New Aspect

In which we accompany a venerable and kindly old gentleman as he joins a diminutive yet spirited dolls’ dressmaker on a fog-bound journey through familiar London haunts, leading to an encounter with a formidable tavern keeper and an unexpected river-side commotion. Together, they witness the aftermath of a maritime calamity that brings a troubled figure to the threshold of a sombre public house.
