As pip is introduced to is new life in London with a great fortune he finds himself travilling to the Baranrd inn with Mr wemmick where he will be residing. In pips eyes Mr wemmick seems to be a ‘dry man’ and has an expression which seemed to be ‘imperfectly chipped out with a dull edged chisel’. They finally arrived at Barnards inn and to Pips disappintment it is nothing what he expected. Pip imagined it as a hotel but what instead it was a ‘shabby building squeezed together in a rank corner as a club for Tom cats’.

Pip further describes the inn and its surrounding area as a dismal place and melancholy. He discovers that the in was ‘so imperfect was this realisation of the first of my great expectations’. This portays that pip has the depressing thought that Pips great expecations may not turn out to be so ‘great’. Pip enters the dismal inn where he is left in his room. Later Mr pocket(pips tutuor) arrives later followed by his son. Pip sees him as a familiar face but when they first have proper contact they both recognise eachtoher and Mr pockets son turns out to be the pale young gentleman he met at Miss Havishams.
