Middlemarch

Dr Tertius Lydgate is put in charge of the fever hospital in Middlemarch.

Fred Vincy is anxious to know to whom Featherstone will leave his fortune.

As tensions continue to mount between Casaubon and Ladislaw, Dorothea is caught in the middle.

Now a widow, Dorothea seeks advice from Dr Lydgate on who to replace her late husband in his role of chaplaincy.

Dr Lydgate's financial problems worsen and his marriage grows increasingly bitter with the prospect of bankruptcy.

Unbeknownst to him Dr Lydgate's wife Rosamond writes to his uncle Godwin asking for money.
