He invades the bedroom of Lord Groan’s daughter, Lady Fuchsia, who finds herself strangely attracted to him and takes him on a visit to the family’s physician, Dr Prunesquallor.
Steerpike accepts a place as Prunesquallor’s assistant, meaning a dramatic rise in his status, and is taken into the confidence of the Earl’s twin sisters, Lady Cora and Lady Clarice.
