Daniel Deronda, Chapter 47: samenvatting

Wat er gebeurt

1. Deronda buys clothes for Mordecai, partly hoping to prevent the Meyricks from judging him through his poverty.
2. Mrs. Meyrick announces the discovery to her children, and Hans angrily predicts damage to their home life and Mirah’s art.
3. Deronda asks Mrs. Meyrick to tell Mirah and bring her, while he waits with the anxious, unusually silent Mordecai.
4. Mirah arrives in her old clothes because she wants her poor brother to feel close to her.
5. Mirah calls him Ezra, awakening their shared memory of their mother, and the siblings embrace.
6. Mirah promises support and asks for religious guidance; Mrs. Meyrick welcomes Mordecai, and Deronda leaves them together.

Mordecai recognizes their mother in Mirah’s speech. This shared memory breaks the siblings’ initial stillness and reveals the tenderness Deronda fears might be absent.
