The grotesque Daniel Quilp is causing trouble. What plans does he hatch with Sampson and Sally Brass? What use can he make of the foolish Dick Swiveller? Is Nell's friend Kit a match for Quilp's villainous mind? Nell and her grandfather must disappear or be separated, so they begin their lives as beggars.

Will the mysterious man find them before it's too late? |
