Miss Havisham

This young Pip fellow is relentless! God knows when I sent him off with his earnings and he shows up again! I thought the little bloke was to inquire for money by flattery or services, but he merely mentioned of his future plans. I believe he was going to London, adopted by some rich person and given practically infinite money. All is well for that boy, but why would he come all the way out to Satis to share that speck of information with me, a wretched old woman he barely even knew! In his tone of voice, it almost sounded like he expected something: I simply gave my congratulations and sent him on his way, for what else could have been done?

" 'I start for London, Miss Havisham, tomorrow,' I was exceedingly careful what I said, 'and I thought you would kindly not mind my taking leave of you.'
'This is a gay figure, Pip,' said she, making her crutch stick play round me, as if she, the fairy godmother who had changed me, were bestowing the finishing gift." (167)

" ' I have come into such good fortune since I saw you last, Miss Havisham,' I murmured. 'And I am so grateful for it, Miss Havisham!'
'Aye, aye!' said she, looking at the discomfited and envious Sarah, with delight. 'I have seen Mr. Jaggers. I have heard about it, Pip. So you go tomorrow?'
'Yes, Miss Havisham.'
'And you are adopted by a rich person?'
'Yes, Miss Havisham.'
'Not named?'
'No, Miss Havisham.'
'And Mr. Jaggers is made your guardian?'
'Yes, Miss Havisham.'
She quite gloated on these questions and answers, so keen was her enjoyment of Sarah Pocket's jealous dismay. 'Well!' she went on; 'you have a promising career before you. Be good-deserve it- and abide by Mr. Jagger's instructions.' " (167-168)
