Martin Chuzzlewit

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

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

Jonas seeks to insure Mercy's life, and Pecksniff offers Mary a permanent position in his home.

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.
