Charles Dickens "Our Mutual Friend"
It is an autumn evening and dark shadows are covering the river. There is a boat and in it is
sitting Jesse Hexam with his daughter Lizzie. Suddenly, another boat appears and the man in
it starts to talk with Jesse. He is called Rogue Riderhood and he says that Jesse is his partner,
but Jesse doesn't agree with this and he asks Lizzie to row home as fast as she can. While
rowing, they find a drowned man at the end of the boat's rope. Later Mortimer Lightwood,
who was old John Harmon's lawyer, receives a letter from a boy named Charley Hexam
where is said that young John Harmon is dead. Mr. Lightwood, Mr. Wrayburn and Charley go
to Charley's home. Later when the guests leave, Lizzie asks Charley to leave their house and
gives him some money. Because of John Harmon died, his money will go to the old servant
Noddy Boffin. A part of that Mr. and Mrs. Boffin decides to offer a reward to the man who
finds out the killer John Harmon
