Great Expectations: Part 2. 

Well Miss Haversham, sitting there all pretty in your bridal dress. Why, is that your wedding feast laid out before ye? I think it might be. Am I to be your walking stick, asks Pip? Indeed you are. And while you are, you are to form an infatuation for Estella. Her relation to me is unexplained. And so Pip walks Miss Haversham around the table for hours at a time. Then when he is too tall, Joe comes to receive payment for services rendered. Five and twenty pounds. Joe embarrasses Pip with his common ways. Pip is ashamed of himself for thinking so.

Pip becomes a blacksmith. It is a hard life. Mrs Joe continues to Rampage. There is another in the blacksmiths shop. His name is Orlick. Orlick and Mrs Joe argue fiercely one day. Pip visits Miss Haversham and misses Estella who is in Europe; he comes home to find Mrs Joe incapacitated by a blow to the head. Orlick is a suspected of this deed. However Mrs Joe writes a T on her chalkboard which indicates a hammer which in turn indicates Orlick and he is duly summoned. Is he her attacker? Is she to pronounce him as so? Why no, she is delighted to see him and calls for him often; as best she can in her incapacitated ways.

Why is this so we wonder?
