In these two chapters, Doctor Thorne learns that his niece's other uncle, Roger Scatcherd, has made him the executor of his estate. Inside of his will he has stipulated that if something should happen to his son, his only heir, then the bulk of his estate, which includes $200K, will go to his sister's first born child, which just so happens to be Doctor Thorne's niece Mary. Doctor Thorne spends the bulk of the remaining chapters going back and forth debating on whether he should tell Roger about this development.

The way Trollope continues to add dimension to the story through multiple plot lines always impresses me, but this one in particular I was surprised by. I knew that Mary would need to inherit in some way so that she could be with her obvious future man, Frank Gresham the younger, but I truly did not know how it was going to happen. I am curious to know if Roger Scatcherd, her unknown uncle, will come to be known to her or if he will die before she or Doctor Thorne can make him aware of the situation.

Doctor Thorne's internal struggle in regard to the future well-being of his niece and the seemingly underhanded way it might occur contributes to his upstanding character.

Patroclus is a young prince whom his father does not like. He is not strong and has no outstanding abilities. One day when he was 10, he was playing with dice, and another boy from a noble family wanted to take the dice. Patroclus said no and when the bully tried to take it, Patroclus shoved him and he accidentally hit his head on a rock and died. Patroclus was then exiled because of it to the neighboring kingdom of Phthia.

I was shocked when I learned that Patroclus did that. I knew he would do something bad, but I did not expect this. I really hope that Ahillies from Phthia and Patroclus make a good friendship.
