Job Tudge and Harry Transome

Grayscale illustration of two small boys facing each other outdoors beside a stone gatepost. One wears a tall hat and a buttoned coat; the other, seen from behind, wears a peaked cap and satchel and pulls a small cart

Job Tudge, the orphan child Felix Holt takes under his protection, meets Harry Transome. Eliot uses the two boys to set the novel’s social distance in miniature.
