Much happens in these two chapters-so here is a very brief summary:
Frederic and Mme Dambreuse are having an affair. She becomes a widow and wants to marry him.
Rosanette and Frederic spend a few days together before the baby comes and she wants to marry him. The baby is very sick and dies.
Frederic's career in politics is non-existent since he withdraw because he has no chance of winning
Arnoux is still in lots of financial trouble and seems to owe everyone money. His new business, selling religious objects fails so he and his family flee from their creditors.
Frederic tries to help him, but he's too late, they've already left.
Frederic is fed up with Mme Dambreuse, Rosanette and Paris so he goes home to Nogent just in time to see the newly married Louise and Dussardiers.
