1But, Uncle Pumblechook, who was omnipotent in that kitchen, wouldn't hear the word, wouldn't hear of the subject,
2imperiously waved it all away with his hand, and asked for hot gin and water. My sister, who had begun to be alarmingly
3meditative, had to employ herself actively in getting the gin, the hot water, the sugar, and the lemon-peel, and mixing
4them. For the time being at least, I was saved. I still held on to the leg of the table, but clutched it now with the
5fervor of gratitude. By degrees, I became calm enough to release my grasp and partake of pudding. Mr. Pumblechook
6partook of pudding. All partook of pudding. The course terminated, and Mr. Pumblechook had begun to beam under the
7genial influence of gin and water. I began to think I should get over the day, when my sister said to Joe, "Clean
8plates,--cold." I clutched the leg of the table again immediately, and pressed it to my bosom as if it had been the
9companion of my youth and friend of my soul. I foresaw what was coming, and I felt that this time I really was gone.
10"You must taste," said my sister, addressing the guests with her best grace--"you must taste, to finish with, such a
11delightful and delicious present of Uncle Pumblechook's!" Must they! Let them not hope to taste it! "You must know,"
12said my sister, rising, "it's a pie; a savory pork pie." The company murmured their compliments. Uncle Pumblechook,
13sensible of having deserved well of his fellow-creatures, said,--quite vivaciously, all things considered,--"Well, Mrs.
14Joe, we'll do our best endeavours; let us have a cut at this same pie." My sister went out to get it. I heard her steps
15proceed to the pantry. I saw Mr. Pumblechook balance his knife. I saw reawakening appetite in the Roman nostrils of Mr.
16Wopsle. I heard Mr. Hubble remark that "a bit of savory pork pie would lay atop of anything you could mention, and do no
17harm," and I heard Joe say, "You shall have some, Pip." I have never been absolutely certain whether I uttered a shrill
18yell of terror, merely in spirit, or in the bodily hearing of the company. I felt that I could bear no more, and that I
19must run away. I released the leg of the table, and ran for my life. But I ran no farther than the house door, for there
20I ran head-foremost into a party of soldiers with their muskets, one of whom held out a pair of handcuffs to me, saying,
21"Here you are, look sharp, come on!"
