The Way We Live Now

London, in the 1870's. Infamous financier, Augustus Melmotte, arrives in town.

Georgiana Longestaffe, snobbish but desperate to find a husband, arrives in London as a reluctant guest.

Mrs Hurtle says she will release Paul from the engagement if he returns home with his heart still set.

As Paul struggles in Mexico without the funding he needs, Fisker arrives.

Mrs Hurtle coolly confirms that her relationship with Paul is not over, and Hetta decides she can never see him again.
