Cosa succede

1. John Rokesmith sorts Mr Boffin's papers, demonstrates his letter writing, and receives a trial appointment with salary left unsettled.
2. The Boffins explain their move and show Rokesmith the Bower, including the children's pencilled names and the valuable Mounds.
3. Mr Boffin promises to preserve the house and asks Rokesmith to oversee preparations at the new home.
4. Wegg accepts responsibility for the Bower at a pound weekly, with coal, candles, and separate payment for reading.
5. Mrs Boffin interrupts the evening because she feels changing faces throughout the house, though she does not claim to see them.
6. The Boffins search the buildings and grounds; her fear passes, but the faces remain when she closes her eyes.
