Mr. Melmotte shakes his daughter violently. It is implied that Ruby's grandfather beat her (he equates women to rugs "they need constant beating"). Sir Felix is beaten and sustains a black eye and multiple cuts and scratches. A drunken man falls face-down on the pavement.

God is uttered multiple times. D--n, a--, h-ll and a few other minor profanities peppered throughout.

This is Victorian England; wine flows freely, though usually part of a meal. Several gentlemen smoke cigars and pipes. A few characters get drunk. It is implied that a man took poison to commit suicide.

Some violent yelling and threatening conversations.
