Great Expectations Page #4

---

I can't guess what it is,

ma'am.

The great cake.

A bride-cake. Mine.

It was brought here a long time ago.

On my birthday.

Oh, my coming of age.

You see this?

- It's from him.

- Him, ma'am?

I received it 20 to nine.

Read it.

Wheel me around this table.

And... did she look in favour on

the way you pushed her around?

She wishes me to take her further

next time. Onto the landing.

- Uncle?

- Promising, mum, highly promising.

- What do you know, Pip?

- Sorry, ma'am?

In your learning.

Not nearly as much as I should like, ma'am.

Not nearly as much.

And what are you to be?

I believe I am to be apprentice

to Joe, ma'am.

The blacksmith.

But I'm a very well pupil

and keen to learn everything.

You mean something else?

Oh, boy, back from the society you go.

Joe!

- You playes well today, are you?

- Joe!

She wishes you to come there.

She wishes us to come there.

There's a plan she has for him.

It must be. Or she plans to give him

the way she wishes to favour him

after all the visit to his main there.

It's only Joe she wishes to see.

He's to go up town on his own?

Him?

I think it would be best to go to

in your Sunday clothes, Joe.

My hat and whole?

There more company

I might think for.

Where do I go?

- This is important business then...

- When is it to go there?

Soon. She knows

nothing of times.

You'll go tomorrow.

Well, Pip, bring the foil.

This will not do.

You have raised the boy with the intention

of taking him for your apprentice.

Is that so, Mr. Gargery?

That was long be looked

forward to between us.

Yes, Pip?

Does he like the trade?

You know it were looked

forward to betwixt us

It is a wish of his

own heart, ma'am.

Begging your pardon, ma'am.

Is it what's to happen then?

It's time.

It's a business open to black

and soot and such like.

But Pip makes no

objections to that.

And now he can help me keep

the pot boiling, so to speak.

Pip is on the premium here.

Five-and-twenty guineas.

Take it to your master, Pip.

Estella, show

Mr. Gargery way.

Pip, stay behind.

So, Pip...

there's a change going on.

And Estella will soon be gone.

- Where?

- Abroad.

To be educated for a lady.

Out of reach.

How do you feel about that?

I wish her well.

Don't you think that

you're losing her?

- I might come again?

- No.

Gargery is your master now.

You have no more

attachments here.

Do you?

You're free to go.

Hello, young fellow.

Who let you in?

It does not matter who let me in.

I was sent for and now I'm leaving.

Didn't she take a fancy

to you then?

- Who?

- Miss Havisham.

I'm on trial too.

My father is her cousin.

I have no more business

in this house. Excuse me.
