Helstone and Moore go to rescue the men bound on Stilbro' Moor and fight about their opposing political views the whole way. This comes after our narrator becomes a disappointing apologist for Helstone, the "warlike" parson. He may be "without sympathy; ungentle; and prejudiced" ...but any criticism for that is just "poisonous rancour". ? The bar for men has always been in Hell! Anyway, the translation for the chapter's French dialogue is above.
Chapter 2 is a doozy! I love any narrative that reminds us to reflect on labor history and the rights of workers and this chapter is IT. The Luddite uprisings are in full swing and the pitiless capitalist known as Robert Moore is bringing in new machinery, which the workers cannot abide. Despite how the term is used today, the Luddites were not explicitly anti-tech; they were pro-worker, which included highly skilled craftspeople, i.e. artists.

“If you think, from this prelude, that anything like a romance is preparing for you, reader, you never were more mistaken. Do you anticipate sentiment, and poetry, and reverie? Do you expect passion, and stimulus, and melodrama? Calm your expectations; reduce them to a lowly standard.“
😂🤣 These opening paragraphs are 💯

Hedging my bets — I‘m very much a mood reader, and when I felt like reading another chapter. I seized the day!

And we now know everything we need to know about landlady Mrs. Gale and the “gentlemanly” curate… 6% in, in the first chapter 🤣
