The nonconformists in the form of Bulstrode and there's the question of Catholic emancipation and people are split on that.

You know, one of the great political questions of the, you know, sort of one of the Brexits of the day almost.

But that's a question of religion.

But what part does God play in this book?

And there are many different kinds of vicars in Middlemarch.

Of course, Cazabon is a vicar, but he doesn't live because he's also a wealthy man and he lives in the big house.

And then there's a curate who lives in the vicarage and does most of the work.

And he swans in to deliver the sermon.

And that's about it.

There's also this guy, Fairbrother.

And actually, what first brings Lydgate into Bolstrode's

Orbit, or taking his side, is not giving Fairbrother a job at the infirmary.

And Fairbrother, you know, he plays whist for money, but that's because he doesn't have enough income.

He's got a sister and all these families to look after, and it's the only way to make money.

And then, after Kazabon's death, that Dorothea gives him the living of Loic, and that makes a big difference, and he can stop playing whist.
