1"My good Handel, is it not obvious that with Newgate in the next street, there must be far greater hazard in your
2breaking your mind to him and making him reckless, here, than elsewhere? If a pretext to get him away could be made out
3of that other convict, or out of anything else in his life, now." "There, again!" said I, stopping before Herbert, with
4my open hands held out, as if they contained the desperation of the case. "I know nothing of his life. It has almost
5made me mad to sit here of a night and see him before me, so bound up with my fortunes and misfortunes, and yet so
6unknown to me, except as the miserable wretch who terrified me two days in my childhood!" Herbert got up, and linked his
7arm in mine, and we slowly walked to and fro together, studying the carpet. "Handel," said Herbert, stopping, "you feel
8convinced that you can take no further benefits from him; do you?" "Fully. Surely you would, too, if you were in my
9place?" "And you feel convinced that you must break with him?" "Herbert, can you ask me?" "And you have, and are bound
10to have, that tenderness for the life he has risked on your account, that you must save him, if possible, from throwing
11it away. Then you must get him out of England before you stir a finger to extricate yourself. That done, extricate
12yourself, in Heaven's name, and we'll see it out together, dear old boy." It was a comfort to shake hands upon it, and
13walk up and down again, with only that done. "Now, Herbert," said I, "with reference to gaining some knowledge of his
14history. There is but one way that I know of. I must ask him point blank." "Yes. Ask him," said Herbert, "when we sit at
15breakfast in the morning." For he had said, on taking leave of Herbert, that he would come to breakfast with us. With
16this project formed, we went to bed. I had the wildest dreams concerning him, and woke unrefreshed; I woke, too, to
17recover the fear which I had lost in the night, of his being found out as a returned transport. Waking, I never lost
18that fear. He came round at the appointed time, took out his jackknife, and sat down to his meal. He was full of plans
19"for his gentleman's coming out strong, and like a gentleman," and urged me to begin speedily upon the pocket-book which
20he had left in my possession. He considered the chambers and his own lodging as temporary residences, and advised me to
21look out at once for a "fashionable crib" near Hyde Park, in which he could have "a shake-down." When he had made an end
22of his breakfast, and was wiping his knife on his leg, I said to him, without a word of preface,-- "After you were gone
23last night, I told my friend of the struggle that the soldiers found you engaged in on the marshes, when we came up. You
24remember?" "Remember!" said he. "I think so!" "We want to know something about that man--and about you. It is strange to
25know no more about either, and particularly you, than I was able to tell last night. Is not this as good a time as
26another for our knowing more?" "Well!" he said, after consideration. "You're on your oath, you know, Pip's comrade?"
27"Assuredly," replied Herbert. "As to anything I say, you know," he insisted. "The oath applies to all." "I understand it
28to do so." "And look'ee here! Wotever I done is worked out and paid for," he insisted again. "So be it." He took out his
29black pipe and was going to fill it with negro-head, when, looking at the tangle of tobacco in his hand, he seemed to
30think it might perplex the thread of his narrative. He put it back again, stuck his pipe in a button-hole of his coat,
31spread a hand on each knee, and after turning an angry eye on the fire for a few silent moments, looked round at us and
32said what follows.
