Mary Garth Timeline and Summary

Mary is working as an assistant and companion to her uncle Featherstone, who is chronically ill and very cranky.
On his deathbed, Mr. Featherstone asks her to burn his second will, but she refuses because there aren't any other witnesses – she doesn't want anyone to suspect her of cheating.
After Featherstone dies, Mary is going to go away to teach at a school in York, but her father's luck turns just in time and she gets to stay in Middlemarch.
Fred is in love with her, but she won't even think about marrying him until he does something with his life.
Once Fred gets a head start as an estate agent by working for Mary's father, she agrees to marry him.
They're married and live happily ever after.
