Morel is jealous and tries to break up the relationship. Paul, however, is a growing man and is interested in Miriam Leiver (based on Lawrence’s first sweetheart, Jessie Chambers), a sensitive girl. Sadly, William dies of pneumonia and she becomes closer to Paul (modeled on Lawrence himself), particularly when he too becomes ill. She is determined that her boys won’t be miners and manages to get them enough education for them to become clerks.
