When Mrs. Willow comes to visit them, they say nothing about their dislike of Mr. Evans, as they do not want to leave. Mrs. Gotobed assures Hepzibah and Mr. Johnny that they can continue to live in her house once she has died, and that she has made a will saying so. Carrie only meets Mrs. Gotobed twice before she dies, and Mrs. Gotobed asks Carrie to tell Mr. Evans that she has never forgotten him, despite their feud. Hepzibah and Albert tell Carrie that despite Mr. Evans's firm belief that Hepzibah is cheating Mrs. Gotobed out of money, she is in fact penniless.
