    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.

    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.
