Chapter 42:
This chapter ends with a conflict with Tulkinghorn and Mademoiselle Hortense who
has been looking for him. Snagsby informs Tulkinghorn that Hortense has
been making his wife jealous because she is always at his shop but she
is there looking for him. She keeps demanding to be let in to see
Tulkinghorn. He tells Snagsby to send Mademoiselle Hortense to him.
Tulkinghorn goes to his chambers and before he can do what he intended
to do some one arrives at his chambers. He was just about to go to the
wine cellar when there was knock on the door. When he opens it, it is an
angry Mademoiselle Hortense. She said she completed the task that he
has asked her to do and she shows him some items. She says that even
though she was paid she has yet to spend the money because she is angry.
She then goes to say how much she despise Lady Deadlock and she wants
him to give her a new a job. She tells him that if he does not fulfill
her request she will keep coming to him until he does. He then responds
by telling her that he will bring charges against her if she does that.
Chapter 43:
In
this chapter Ester is narrating. She talks about how she is trying not
to think of Lady Deadlock or mention her name. She tries not to obsess
over her. Ester then talks to Mr. Jarndyce and Ada about Richard. Mr
Jarndyce no longer has hope that he will give up the case. Ester tells
Mr. Jarndyce that Richard met with Vholes because Skimpole received five
pounds from Richard. Mr. Jarndyce expresses how he feels about
Skimpole. He think he is childish. When they visit Skimpole in London he
is happy to see them but he does act a little child-like. Mr. Jarndyce
warns Skimpole about taking money from Richard, but Skimpole says he
can't deny the money. He explains also why he can't stop encouraging
Richard about the lawsuit. He knows nothing about it. Skimpole goes back
to the Bleak house with everyone after introducing his family to them.
Sir Leicaster arrives at the house unexpectedly and tells them they are
allowed to come to Chesney Wold despite the ongoing feud he has with
Boythorn. Ester then learns of Boythorn's heartbreak with Lady
Deadlock's sister. After learning the details she feels bad because she
thinks she is to blame. She then reveals to Sir Leicaster that Lady
Deadlock is her mother and Boythorn's old lover was her caretaker. Sir
Leicaster sympathizes with Ester and she is deeply grateful.
Chapter 44
Mr.
Jarndyce tells Ester to keep the secret to her self. She tells him that
she believe some people have suspicion. Before Ester gets to leave Sir
Leicaster tells Ester that he has something to tell her but he has to
write it down. When Ester gets the chance to read the letter she sees
that it is a proposal to marry him. She feels like her acceptance to
this proposal is how she can repay him for what he has done. She then
decides she will be happy from that day forward and she accepts his
proposal.
Chapter 45
Ester
meets Vholes. They discuss the issues that Richard is having. Ester
decided she is going to see Richard where he is stationed. Ada gives
Ester a letter for Richard. When Ester arrives Richard looks sick and he
admits he's not doing too well. He then says he already gave up his
commission and is going to concentrate on the case. He hopes Vholes will
help him. He opens the letter and it is her inheritance. He refuses to
accept it because he thinks it is an ulterior motive from Mr. Jarndyce.
Despite Esters words Richard made up his mind on what he will do to
solve his problems. When Ester leaves she sees Mr. Woodcourt. She goes
back to her room but then writes him to inform her whereabouts. Shortly
after Mr. Woodcourt arrives, Richard shows up. He talks to Mr.
Woodcourt. Ester ask Mr Woodcourt to visit Richard in London on a
regular basis and he agrees.
Chapter 46:
While many are indecisive about how Tom will be dealt with by
Parliament, it is known that Tom has revenge. He’s vile, and a cause of
mss contagion. Meanwhile, Mr. Woodcourt bandages a woman’s bruise, and
comments on how her husband can get into worse trouble if he keeps
abusing her. Jo then comes running towards Mr. Woodcourt, who thinks
that Jo has stolen a woman’s money. After a personal conversation, Jo
tells Mr. Woodcourt that someone ordered him to leave the house of the
lady who was taking care of him, and that he was paid to do it and
ordered to keep this person’s name anonymous.
Chapter 47: Mr. Woodcourt and Jo soon come in contact with Mr. George, who agrees to find Jo a safe place to stay after being told that Jo is being watched by a guy who is everywhere. Jo is sick, however, and is being taken care of by Phil, who was found in the gutter as a baby. Mr. George than explains that Bucket took Jo to Lincoln’s Inn Fields, and that Bucket has been in contact with Mr. Tulkinghorn about a dead person’s offense beforehand. Mr. George then, very angrily, states that Mr. Tulkinghorn is a, “Confoundedly bad kind of man.” Mr. Woodcourt then visits Mr. Snagsby, and finds out that Snagsby was charged by a certain person to not speak of Jo. He then goes to visit Jo, who says Snagsby is uncommonly kind for visiting him. Jo asks Snagsby to make it known, it writing, that Jo has good intentions and was sorry for what he had done. Mr. Woodcourt then prays with Jo, who then dies.
Chapter 48: Feeling altruistic, Lady Dedlock decided to send Rosa away, feeling that it would be in Rosa’s best interest. Mr. Rouncewell comes to take Rosa away, but Rosa is deeply upset and crying; thinking that she has offended Lady Dedlock in some way. Upon realizing this, Mr. Tulkinghorn states that their agreement is now void, and that he will take his own course of action. Lady Dedlock now fears that Mr. Tulkinghorn will tell Sir Leicester, but Mr. Tulkinghorn says that it won’t be that night (but does state that he will not tell her when). At the end, a gunshot is heard; drawing the attention of villagers and startling the cats and dogs – Mr. Tulkinghorn has been shot and killed.
Chapter 49: We meet Mr. and Mrs. Bagnet, who are celebrating a birthday dinner for the oldest girl; and they are expecting George to come by later on. When George arrives, he is deeply bothered by the loss of Jo; enough to the point that Mrs. Bagnet comments on his appearance of being “white.” Bucket later comes by, after looking in the musical shop window. Bucket makes himself seem very nice and caring around the children, but eventually him and George leave together. Upon walking, out of view of Mr. and Mrs. Bagnet; Bucket arrests George in a parlor. He tells George to be careful; for what he can be liable for what he says. Bucket states that George is often near the area where Mr. Tulkinghorn lived, and is accusing George of murder.
