I Meet the Convict

Pirrip is the fathers family name of Pip, and Philip is his Christian name.

One windy afternoon, Pip sat in the graveyard and remembered his dead parents andbrothers, suddenly, a rough voice shouted. He was a fearsome man. Shivering with cold,

and limping as he came up to him, he looked evil and frightful. The man told Pip that he

would cut his throat. Pip was so scared. Then the man told Pip that he need a file andfood, tomorrow morning, and if he talk about it, his heart and liver would tore out,

roasted and ate. And Pip was limping away and ran home without stopping.

Fear and Theft

Mrs. Joe Gargery, his sister, was more than twenty years older than him. She was tall andbony, with black hair and eyes, and always wore a apron with a square bib that was stuck

with pins and needles.Joe was a fair man, with flaxen hair and pale blue eyes. He was sweet tempered. Joe

yelled that his sister is coming, then his sister ask him that where did he go. Then he told

the truth that he went to the churchyard. When Joe was busy eating, he slowly slipped his

bread and butter down the leg, for the convict.Joe burst out, noticing the sudden disappearance. His sister cried. Holding his head under

her arm, she administered a pint of some nasty mixture down his throat.

He went tom Joes forge and took a file from among his tools. Then he ran for the mistymarshes.

Chapter III

A Promise Kept

It was a damp and misty morning. He saw the man sitting before him. He was nodding

with sleep. He touched him on the shoulder. He instantly jumped up. It was not the same

man, it was another man. He was everything that the other man was, except that he had

not the same face. He swore an oath at him, hit him, and then ran into the mist. Hethought that its the young man, the correct man was there. He looked awfully hungry.

He was gobbling mince meat, bread, cheese and pork pie, all at once, and staring

distrustfully. The man said that his not a deceiving imp. Then he slipped off. They wereto have a superb Christmas dinner. His sister chose to stay at home while Joe and Pip

went to church.

When Joe and Pip got home, they found the table lay. And still, no word of the robbery.

The Hunt

His sister came to the table, empty handed, and starting at the soldier. Joe took the

handcuffs. The sergeant began to close in upon about dusk. At last, Joes job was done.

When they were all out in the raw air, he whispered to Joe that they cant find them.The soldiers were moving in the direction of the old battery, when they heard a long

shout. There seemed to be two or more people shouting at each other. The sergeant

panted, struggling at the bottom of a ditch. Soon, three or four torches were lit.After an hour or so of traveling they came to a rough wooden. The sergeant made a

report, and then the other convict was taken on board first.

general shop during the day. Biddy, who was a distant relative of Mr. Wopsles, did allthe work at the shop. Pip and Biddy was an orphan. She was most noticeable because her

hair was always untidy and her shoes wanted mending.One night, Pip was sitting in a corner with his slate, trying to write a letter to Joe. Joe

joined him after a while. Since he was a blacksmith, he took up his work. But, one day,

he died after an epileptic fit and it broke his heart. His mother died not long after.

He broke out crying and hugged Joe. From that moment, he looked upon Joe with newadmiration.

He had heard of Miss Havisham, a rich and grim lady who lived a secluded life in a large

house that was barricaded against robbers.He was soaped, kneaded, thumbed and toweled. He was then put into clean clothes and

delivered to Uncle Pumblechock.
