1"Look'ee here, Pip. I'm your second father. You're my son,--more to me nor any son. I've put away money, only for you to
2spend. When I was a hired-out shepherd in a solitary hut, not seeing no faces but faces of sheep till I half forgot wot
3men's and women's faces wos like, I see yourn. I drops my knife many a time in that hut when I was a-eating my dinner or
4my supper, and I says, 'Here's the boy again, a looking at me whiles I eats and drinks!' I see you there a many times,
5as plain as ever I see you on them misty marshes. 'Lord strike me dead!' I says each time,--and I goes out in the air to
6say it under the open heavens,--'but wot, if I gets liberty and money, I'll make that boy a gentleman!' And I done it.
7Why, look at you, dear boy! Look at these here lodgings of yourn, fit for a lord! A lord? Ah! You shall show money with
8lords for wagers, and beat 'em!" In his heat and triumph, and in his knowledge that I had been nearly fainting, he did
9not remark on my reception of all this. It was the one grain of relief I had. "Look'ee here!" he went on, taking my
10watch out of my pocket, and turning towards him a ring on my finger, while I recoiled from his touch as if he had been a
11snake, "a gold 'un and a beauty: that's a gentleman's, I hope! A diamond all set round with rubies; that's a
12gentleman's, I hope! Look at your linen; fine and beautiful! Look at your clothes; better ain't to be got! And your
13books too," turning his eyes round the room, "mounting up, on their shelves, by hundreds! And you read 'em; don't you? I
14see you'd been a reading of 'em when I come in. Ha, ha, ha! You shall read 'em to me, dear boy! And if they're in
15foreign languages wot I don't understand, I shall be just as proud as if I did." Again he took both my hands and put
16them to his lips, while my blood ran cold within me. "Don't you mind talking, Pip," said he, after again drawing his
17sleeve over his eyes and forehead, as the click came in his throat which I well remembered,--and he was all the more
18horrible to me that he was so much in earnest; "you can't do better nor keep quiet, dear boy. You ain't looked slowly
19forward to this as I have; you wosn't prepared for this as I wos. But didn't you never think it might be me?" "O no, no,
20no," I returned, "Never, never!" "Well, you see it wos me, and single-handed. Never a soul in it but my own self and Mr.
21Jaggers." "Was there no one else?" I asked. "No," said he, with a glance of surprise: "who else should there be? And,
22dear boy, how good looking you have growed! There's bright eyes somewheres--eh? Isn't there bright eyes somewheres, wot
23you love the thoughts on?" O Estella, Estella! "They shall be yourn, dear boy, if money can buy 'em. Not that a
24gentleman like you, so well set up as you, can't win 'em off of his own game; but money shall back you! Let me finish
25wot I was a telling you, dear boy. From that there hut and that there hiring-out, I got money left me by my master
26(which died, and had been the same as me), and got my liberty and went for myself. In every single thing I went for, I
27went for you. 'Lord strike a blight upon it,' I says, wotever it was I went for, 'if it ain't for him!' It all prospered
28wonderful. As I giv' you to understand just now, I'm famous for it. It was the money left me, and the gains of the first
29few year wot I sent home to Mr. Jaggers--all for you--when he first come arter you, agreeable to my letter." O that he
30had never come! That he had left me at the forge,--far from contented, yet, by comparison happy! "And then, dear boy, it
31was a recompense to me, look'ee here, to know in secret that I was making a gentleman. The blood horses of them
32colonists might fling up the dust over me as I was walking; what do I say? I says to myself, 'I'm making a better
33gentleman nor ever you'll be!' When one of 'em says to another, 'He was a convict, a few year ago, and is a ignorant
34common fellow now, for all he's lucky,' what do I say? I says to myself, 'If I ain't a gentleman, nor yet ain't got no
35learning, I'm the owner of such. All on you owns stock and land; which on you owns a brought-up London gentleman?' This
36way I kep myself a-going. And this way I held steady afore my mind that I would for certain come one day and see my boy,
37and make myself known to him, on his own ground." He laid his hand on my shoulder. I shuddered at the thought that for
38anything I knew, his hand might be stained with blood. "It warn't easy, Pip, for me to leave them parts, nor yet it
39warn't safe. But I held to it, and the harder it was, the stronger I held, for I was determined, and my mind firm made
40up. At last I done it. Dear boy, I done it!" I tried to collect my thoughts, but I was stunned. Throughout, I had seemed
41to myself to attend more to the wind and the rain than to him; even now, I could not separate his voice from those
42voices, though those were loud and his was silent. "Where will you put me?" he asked, presently. "I must be put
43somewheres, dear boy." "To sleep?" said I. "Yes. And to sleep long and sound," he answered; "for I've been sea-tossed
44and sea-washed, months and months." "My friend and companion," said I, rising from the sofa, "is absent; you must have
45his room." "He won't come back to-morrow; will he?" "No," said I, answering almost mechanically, in spite of my utmost
46efforts; "not to-morrow." "Because, look'ee here, dear boy," he said, dropping his voice, and laying a long finger on my
47breast in an impressive manner, "caution is necessary." "How do you mean? Caution?" "By G----, it's Death!" "What's
48death?" "I was sent for life. It's death to come back. There's been overmuch coming back of late years, and I should of
49a certainty be hanged if took." Nothing was needed but this; the wretched man, after loading wretched me with his gold
50and silver chains for years, had risked his life to come to me, and I held it there in my keeping! If I had loved him
51instead of abhorring him; if I had been attracted to him by the strongest admiration and affection, instead of shrinking
52from him with the strongest repugnance; it could have been no worse. On the contrary, it would have been better, for his
53preservation would then have naturally and tenderly addressed my heart. My first care was to close the shutters, so that
54no light might be seen from without, and then to close and make fast the doors. While I did so, he stood at the table
55drinking rum and eating biscuit; and when I saw him thus engaged, I saw my convict on the marshes at his meal again. It
56almost seemed to me as if he must stoop down presently, to file at his leg. When I had gone into Herbert's room, and had
57shut off any other communication between it and the staircase than through the room in which our conversation had been
58held, I asked him if he would go to bed? He said yes, but asked me for some of my "gentleman's linen" to put on in the
59morning. I brought it out, and laid it ready for him, and my blood again ran cold when he again took me by both hands to
60give me good-night. I got away from him, without knowing how I did it, and mended the fire in the room where we had been
61together, and sat down by it, afraid to go to bed. For an hour or more, I remained too stunned to think; and it was not
62until I began to think, that I began fully to know how wrecked I was, and how the ship in which I had sailed was gone to
63pieces.
