Traddles and Mr and Mrs Micawber come over to dinner. They have a good time until Littimer appears looking for Steerforth.

Micawber confesses that he is going into the brewing business.

After the party, Steerforth arrives and when Copperfield tells him that Traddles had been there, he says that he doesn’t want to see him. He leaves and when Copperfield gets undressed, he finds a letter that he remembered Micawber gave to him.
