Description

Jonas immediately seeks to insure Mercy’s life but is persuaded by Tigg Montague, the managing director of a fraudulent insurance company, to become a shareholder in the business. Montague immediately commissions an investigation of Jonas’s past. In Wiltshire, Charity plans to leave her father and live independently in London. Pecksniff, seeking to take advantage of an increasingly senile old Martin, invites him and Mary to move into the Pecksniff residence so that he can force his attentions on Mary with a proposal of marriage. Mary confides in Tom Pinch, who is finally forced to recognize that his devotion to Pecksniff is misplaced. Having eavesdropped on the conversation, Pecksniff moves quickly to dismiss and discredit Tom Pinch before he can report to old Martin. The modest Mr. Pinch is given a rousing send-off by the whole village.
