Martin Chuzzlewit

Old Martin Chuzzlewit is a very rich man, but paranoid that everyone is after his money.

Pecksniff returns to Wiltshire to carry out Old Martin's orders.

Jonas gives his father a lavish funeral and later proposes to Mercy Pecksniff, much to Charity’s anger.

Tom Pinch finds Mercy has suffered at her husband’s hands. Montague attempts to blackmail Jonas.

Old Martin’s senility is seen to be a sham and at a family conference young Martin’s inheritance is restored.
