Answer 2

In the chapter 'The Dear Departed' Abel Merryweather's two daughters are hypocritical,greedy,selfish and money minded. All they care about is the property of their father. They do not care even a bit for him; this is shown when Mrs.Slater does not even consider calling a doctor to check if her father is really dead or not. The title is ironical as Abel is neither dead nor dear to either of his children. Thus to add a sarcastic and ironical tone to the whole story the title is justified.
