1"How do you do?" said I, shaking hands with him as we turned down the street together. "I saw that you saw me." "Saw
2you, Mr. Pip!" he returned. "Yes, of course I saw you. But who else was there?" "Who else?" "It is the strangest thing,"
3said Mr. Wopsle, drifting into his lost look again; "and yet I could swear to him." Becoming alarmed, I entreated Mr.
4Wopsle to explain his meaning. "Whether I should have noticed him at first but for your being there," said Mr. Wopsle,
5going on in the same lost way, "I can't be positive; yet I think I should." Involuntarily I looked round me, as I was
6accustomed to look round me when I went home; for these mysterious words gave me a chill. "Oh! He can't be in sight,"
7said Mr. Wopsle. "He went out before I went off. I saw him go." Having the reason that I had for being suspicious, I
8even suspected this poor actor. I mistrusted a design to entrap me into some admission. Therefore I glanced at him as we
9walked on together, but said nothing. "I had a ridiculous fancy that he must be with you, Mr. Pip, till I saw that you
10were quite unconscious of him, sitting behind you there like a ghost." My former chill crept over me again, but I was
11resolved not to speak yet, for it was quite consistent with his words that he might be set on to induce me to connect
12these references with Provis. Of course, I was perfectly sure and safe that Provis had not been there. "I dare say you
13wonder at me, Mr. Pip; indeed, I see you do. But it is so very strange! You'll hardly believe what I am going to tell
14you. I could hardly believe it myself, if you told me." "Indeed?" said I. "No, indeed. Mr. Pip, you remember in old
15times a certain Christmas Day, when you were quite a child, and I dined at Gargery's, and some soldiers came to the door
16to get a pair of handcuffs mended?" "I remember it very well." "And you remember that there was a chase after two
17convicts, and that we joined in it, and that Gargery took you on his back, and that I took the lead, and you kept up
18with me as well as you could?" "I remember it all very well." Better than he thought,--except the last clause. "And you
19remember that we came up with the two in a ditch, and that there was a scuffle between them, and that one of them had
20been severely handled and much mauled about the face by the other?" "I see it all before me." "And that the soldiers
21lighted torches, and put the two in the centre, and that we went on to see the last of them, over the black marshes,
22with the torchlight shining on their faces,--I am particular about that,--with the torchlight shining on their faces,
23when there was an outer ring of dark night all about us?" "Yes," said I. "I remember all that." "Then, Mr. Pip, one of
24those two prisoners sat behind you tonight. I saw him over your shoulder." "Steady!" I thought. I asked him then, "Which
25of the two do you suppose you saw?" "The one who had been mauled," he answered readily, "and I'll swear I saw him! The
26more I think of him, the more certain I am of him." "This is very curious!" said I, with the best assumption I could put
27on of its being nothing more to me. "Very curious indeed!" I cannot exaggerate the enhanced disquiet into which this
28conversation threw me, or the special and peculiar terror I felt at Compeyson's having been behind me "like a ghost."
29For if he had ever been out of my thoughts for a few moments together since the hiding had begun, it was in those very
30moments when he was closest to me; and to think that I should be so unconscious and off my guard after all my care was
31as if I had shut an avenue of a hundred doors to keep him out, and then had found him at my elbow. I could not doubt,
32either, that he was there, because I was there, and that, however slight an appearance of danger there might be about
33us, danger was always near and active. I put such questions to Mr. Wopsle as, When did the man come in? He could not
34tell me that; he saw me, and over my shoulder he saw the man. It was not until he had seen him for some time that he
35began to identify him; but he had from the first vaguely associated him with me, and known him as somehow belonging to
36me in the old village time. How was he dressed? Prosperously, but not noticeably otherwise; he thought, in black. Was
37his face at all disfigured? No, he believed not. I believed not too, for, although in my brooding state I had taken no
38especial notice of the people behind me, I thought it likely that a face at all disfigured would have attracted my
39attention. When Mr. Wopsle had imparted to me all that he could recall or I extract, and when I had treated him to a
40little appropriate refreshment, after the fatigues of the evening, we parted. It was between twelve and one o'clock when
41I reached the Temple, and the gates were shut. No one was near me when I went in and went home. Herbert had come in, and
42we held a very serious council by the fire. But there was nothing to be done, saving to communicate to Wemmick what I
43had that night found out, and to remind him that we waited for his hint. As I thought that I might compromise him if I
44went too often to the Castle, I made this communication by letter. I wrote it before I went to bed, and went out and
45posted it; and again no one was near me. Herbert and I agreed that we could do nothing else but be very cautious. And we
46were very cautious indeed,--more cautious than before, if that were possible,--and I for my part never went near
47Chinks's Basin, except when I rowed by, and then I only looked at Mill Pond Bank as I looked at anything else.
