Our Mutual Friend Book 3 Chapter 5 - The Golden Dustman Falls into Bad Company

from The Dickens Library · host Charles Dickens

In which we observe the once simple and genial Golden Dustman assuming a more guarded and imperious manner, much to the quiet distress of his wife and the wary contemplation of Bella Wilfer, whose keen eyes note subtle changes in both men who inhabit the Boffin household. Amidst curious pursuits of miserly biographies and the company of new acquaintances, Bella wrestles with conflicting feelings about fortune and affection, while a cautious intercourse with the enigmatic Secretary deepens the web of intrigue surrounding them all.
