Digging into the affairs of the house鈥檚 next resident, Benjamin Wild, David discovers a factory owner with a history of questionable business dealings, including an employee mangled to death on the factory floor. But when his business is burned down, allegedly by a disgruntled employee, will Wild鈥檚 luck finally run out?

David then explores the story of Mary and Andrew Mellish, whose one-year-old child fell victim to one of the Victorian city鈥檚 most deadly diseases.

Next in our house are William and Mary Lucy Whiting. Committed pacifists, the Whitings take a stand against the Boer War, but with nationalistic fervour running high, their principles come at a cost.

Finally, David uncovers the story of Edward Partridge Fearnley. Working on a luxury cruise ship through the 1920s, Edward rubs shoulders with the rich and famous, but his life below decks proves anything but glamorous when there鈥檚 an outbreak of tuberculosis.
