River Thames

The River Thames is where Daniel meets Mirah for the first time. It is also where he realizes she intends to drown herself. Mirah says to him, "If you had not come, I should have been dead now" (Eliot 171). Unfortunately, in the 19th century, the River Thames was a prime place to catch a disease with human waste clogging the waters (Jeffries).

Scandinavia

Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are often referred to as Scandinavia. Mary Wollstonecraft spent time in all three countries when she was desperately trying to win back Gilbert Imlay after he abandoned her and his child, Fanny. She was on the hunt for a stolen treasure ship, hoping that this would prove something to Imlay. Nothing came of this venture, both romantically and in the sense of treasure.
