Mr. Ibbs was like a in-between of thieves, he brought someting from them and then after cleaning, sold them in higher price. ,Mr.rivers was one of his clients. Then seldom called him Mr.Rivers, but gentleman. A night in winter, very dark and cold, gentleman came to their house and brought something for Sue. Since then on, Sue's and Maud's lives had changed. Gentleman was helping Maud's uncle to sort his books. He met Maud and knew her heritage. So the real gentleman came to a ideal that he wanted to marry her and get her heritage legally. But at that time, a lady couldn't stay with a man alone. Maud's maid left because of sick, so before the new maid coming, gentleman had no chance to stay with her. (update later)
