'He was seen setting off'

Grayscale illustration of a man and a woman looking out a window in their home. Both wear an apron and cap, and a cat sleeps on a chair.

Two inhabitants of Raveloe watch Godfrey Cass setting off on horseback. It is conjectured that Godfrey is going to Tarley to interfere with the drawing up of a warrant investigating the peddler for Silas Marner’s robbery, but he is actually looking for his brother Dunstan, whom Godfrey fears has gotten into trouble.
