Great Expectations Page #3

---

Flags?

Yes. Estella waved a blue flag,

and I waved a red one.

Astonishing!

What lucks, eh, Pip?

But will it make his

fortune, uncle?

There are plans for him, mum.

I am sure of that.

Property or his binding to a gentle trade...

Promising, mum, highly promising.

Come, Pip,

at least there was dogs?

There are no veal cutlets,

at least there was dogs?

- No, Joe.

- A puppy?

Come... and no flags neither, Pip?

Old chap, this won't do.

Where do you expect to go to?

But I couldn't speak how she really was, Joe.

It would be... corse.

Eh?

Why did you teach me

to call knaves jacks?

Look, Pip... Lies is lies.

But I have to go back

there, Joe.

I have to go back there

in six days' time.

What would I do when she looks

at my boots again?

Your own one day.

And you will use them well.

She grow prettier and prettier, Pip?

And prettier.

As for you, there is

no improvement.

Pretty said, my beauty.

Pip sings a very pretty song.

Don't you, Pip?

Perhaps he can

entertain us with that.

I have heard you the first

time you came here.

Perhaps you could beat the tact.

Well, Pip?

It's a song from a forge, ma'am.

- Well then. Sing it.

Come on, join us.

Come.

But I'm not supposed

to join in.

Neither of us.

I thought we were supposed to laugh.

I do not understand this!

It is a blacksmith's song.

It is a song to use with your

coarse clumsy hands.

She's always let me

know I'm low.

Sometimes she talks to me.

Sometimes not.

Sometimes she tells me

very directly that she hates me.

I admire her dreadfully.

Pip...

Well, it's a good likeness,

isn't it?

Of what, Pip?

The design for a buckle,

of course.

You are a willing pupil, Pip,

most of the time

and very particular...

most of the time

but today look again Pip

and you'll see

it's a letter D you copied.

I'm sure she is object of all your love and duty

but I'm instructed to tell

you to come tomorrow.

And will we be able to see her

and inquire about her then?

Oh, she does not say that.

She does say to come back again.

We are only wishing to be

informed about her health.

Indeed, until we are our

own health is undermined.

I'm sure Miss Havisham

wishes you a speedy recovery.

This is the boy Miss Havisham

sends for.

I have pretty large

experience of boys

and you are a bad seat of fellows.

Now, mind you behave yourself.

Come on,

she is waiting for you.

You are to come this way today.

You are to go in there.

Don't open the door

that are down the corridor.

You asked a favour of me?

It is an instruction.

You saw my relatives

downstairs?

Today is my birthday.

- Many happy returns...

- I don's suffer it to be spoken of.

Come.

Walk me.

What do you think that is?
