Martin Chuzzlewit, Chapter 29 — краткое содержание

Что происходит

1. Mr. Bailey visits Poll Sweedlepipe and demands a shave despite having a smooth chin.
2. Mrs. Gamp describes her nursing duties, hints at her patient's mental troubles, and questions Bailey about Mr Chuzzlewit.
3. Lewsome tells John that he has helped with something dreadful, but lacks the strength to explain.
4. John suspects lingering fever, and Lewsome leaves by coach with Mrs Gamp while the Moulds cheerfully inspect him.
5. After the departure, Nadgett remains in a dark coffee-room booth, watching the clock.

На что обратить внимание

Lewsome's fear concerns his own involvement, not merely something he witnesses. The admission remains unexplained because he cannot bring himself to tell John more.
