As Dick's fortunes change, so does his relationship with the Marchioness. From a chance encounter in the shop to a romantic rendezvous, their connection deepens. However, Dick's luck runs out when he gets involved with the notorious trotting team, Edward and Swiveller, led by the cunning Frank Works.

Despite his misfortunes, Dick's heart remains true to the Marchioness, and he longs to make amends for his mistakes. Throughout Dickens' intricately woven tale, Swiveller's connection to the Old Curiosity Shop and the Marchioness remains a constant theme, symbolizing the unpredictability of life and the power of redemption.
