Crummles, who hires Nicholas
(still going under the name of Johnson)
on sight as his new juvenile lead and
playwright with the task of adapting
French tragedies into English and
then modifying them for the troupe's
minimal dramatic abilities. Nicholas and
Smike join the acting company and
are warmly received by the troupe,
which includes Crummles's formidable wife,
their daughter, "The Infant Phenomenon",
and many other eccentric and
melodramatic thespians. Nicholas and
Smike make their debuts in Romeo and Juliet,
as Romeo and the Apothecary respectively,
and are met with great acclaim from
the provincial audiences. Nicholas enjoys
a flirtation with his Juliet, the lovely
Miss Snevellici.
Back in London, Mr Mantalini’s reckless
spending has bankrupted his wife.
Madame Mantalini is forced to sell
her business to Miss Knagg, whose first
order of business is to fire Kate. She finds
employment as the companion of
the social-climbing Mrs Wittiterly. Meanwhile,
Sir Mulberry Hawk begins a plot to
humiliate Kate for refusing his advances.
He uses Lord Frederick, who is infatuated with
her, to discover where she lives from Ralph.
He is about to succeed in this plot when
Mrs Nickleby enters Ralph's office, and
the two rakes switch their attentions from
Kate's uncle to her mother, successfully worming
their way into Mrs Nickleby's company and
gaining access to the Wittiterly house.
