In Chapter 26, Sir Mulberry Hawk uses Lord Frederick Verisopht to obtain Kate Nickleby’s address from Ralph, who trades her privacy for his client’s continued business. The gentlemen then flatter Mrs. Nickleby into welcoming their attention, while Ralph recognizes the danger to his niece but chooses profit over protection.

  3. Newman Noggs loudly announces Mrs. Nickleby, and Hawk secures an introduction by flattering her youth and praising Kate.
  4. Hawk and Verisopht escort Mrs. Nickleby to an omnibus, encouraging her belief that Kate has two wealthy marriage prospects.
  5. Mrs. Nickleby privately favors Hawk, while Ralph weighs his uneasiness against his earnings and leaves Kate exposed.
