8、律師的女兒朵拉，但兩人婚后的生活并不理想。朵拉是個容貌美麗，但頭腦簡單的“洋娃娃”。貝西姨婆也瀕臨破產(chǎn)。這時，大衛(wèi)再次遇見他當(dāng)童工時的房東密考伯，密考伯現(xiàn)在是希普的秘書，經(jīng)過激烈的思想斗爭，他最終揭露了希普陷害威克菲爾并導(dǎo)致貝西小姐破產(chǎn)的種種陰謀。在事實面前，希普只好伏罪。 與此同時，佩克提和海穆經(jīng)過多方奔波，終于找到了被斯蒂弗茨拋棄后，淪落在倫敦的艾米麗，并決定將她帶澳大利亞，開始新的生活。然而就在啟程前夕，海上突然風(fēng)狂雨驟，一艘來自西班牙的客輪在雅茅斯遇險沉沒，只剩下一個瀕死的旅客緊緊地抓著桅桿。海穆見狀不顧自身危險，下海救他，不幸被巨浪吞沒。當(dāng)人們撈起他的尸體時，船上那名旅客的尸體也漂到了岸邊，原來竟是誘拐艾米麗的斯蒂弗茨。艾米麗為海穆的行動深深地打動了，回到澳大利亞后，她終日在勞動中尋
