Arthur moves into lodgings and is visited by Amy, along with her protegee Maggy, to thank him for paying Tip's debts. They stay late and are locked out of their respective homes, having to sleep in a doorway after Fanny, Amy's selfish sister, has declined to help because she is going out with her foppish admirer, Sparkler. Arthur spends a weekend with the Meagles family, again meeting Daniel Doyce.The family are critical of Miss Wade, whom Tattycoram defends before running off to meet her in a churchyard. "You will come with me one day when you are ready", Miss Wade tells her. Affery overhears a conversation between Flintwinch and Mrs. Clennam in which he is apparently taunting her over her debt to the Dorrit family.
