Ralph Nickleby, a moneylender and
Nicholas’s uncle, receives a letter saying that his brother
has died and that the widow and children have been left
penniless. Ralph visits them and treats them scornfully. He
tells Nicholas of a job at Dotheboys Hall, a school for boys
in Yorkshire, owned by Wackford Squeers, and promises to
provide for the family if Nicholas is given the job. Squeers
hires Nicholas as his assistant and they travel together to
the school. After they arrive at Dotheboys, Nicholas soon
realises how harsh Squeers’s rules are and how mistreated
the boys are. Nicholas especially pities Smike, a boy who is
made to do all the hard work and who is cruelly punished.
