Day: May 6, 2016

The next day Pip decides to take the deal the lawyer Jaggers has offered. He believes that this offer is just too good to turn down but he feels heavy sympathy for Joe although acting very snobbishly towards most of them.  However all of a sudden people begin to be much nicer to Pip now that hes going to inherit a large fortune especially Pumblechook who always been not the nicest of people to Pip. Still worrying about Joe and the close relationship they have recently grown he attempts to comfort him but he does not see much emotion coming Joe except for sadness. He visits Miss Havishams one last time and begins to believe that Miss Havisham is the mystery person who has gifted Pip with this large sum of money.

Chapter 18 begins with Pip listening in on a story Mr wopsle is sharing about a murder trial from the newspaper. A large dark man began to question wopsle but he seemed rather familiar to Pip. He looked like the man that was on the staircase in miss Haivshams house. He introduces himself as the lawyer Jaggers and explains that Pip will inherit a large fortune if Pip moves to London and become educated as a gentleman. However Pip must never know the name of the man that is giving him this money. Pip is rather struck by this and cant quite believe what he has just been asked.
