OUR MUTUAL FRIEND

---

The novel focuses on John Harmon, heir to an English family fortune made in “dust” trade—an English euphemism for the sale of bat guano—but believed suspiciously drowned. Harmon returns to England following a long absence, doing nothing to discredit the story of his demise, as he wishes to observe incognito Bella Wilfer, the woman his father’s will demands that he marry before he may take possession of his inheritance.


He uses two aliases, Julius Handford and John Rokesmith, and as Rokesmith is secretary for Mr. Boffin. The well-to-do Boffin also possesses aliases, including Noddy and the Golden Dustman, as he also is a dust merchant. Rokesmith will inherit Harmon’s property should the young heir choose not to wed Bella. Boffin and his wife serve as Bella’s guardians of sorts, as Boffin orders a lawyer named Mortimer Lightwood to sponsor a reward for information regarding Harmon’s supposed death.
