Esther knows her mother is Lady Dedlock. Tulkinghorn great evil lawyer. Naive "heir" losing himself in the case. Jarndyce loves Esther, but she sees him (correctly) as a father figure. Her true love is off at sea as doctor. Wonderful characters, including Krook who dies of spontaneous combustion from alcoholism.

So, who killed Tulkinghorn. The nasty French lady-in-waiting or Lady Dedlock? Will Richard die? Will Emily marry old, rich Jarndyce or young, penniless Woodcourt.
Quite exciting.

E. agrees to marry old Jarndyce and then, naturally, Doctor W shows up. Jo, street urchin who helps Lady Dedlock, dies. Tulkinghorn is murdered by Sergeant George. EVerything moving along except the law case.
