Hah

!

"

said

Mr

.

Jaggers

at

last

,

as

he

moved

towards

the

papers

on

the

table

.

"

What

item

was

it

you

were

at

,

Wemmick

,

when

Mr

.

Pip

came

in

?

"

But

I

could

not

submit

to

be

thrown

off

in

that

way

,

and

I

made

a

passionate

,

almost

an

indignant

appeal

,

to

him

to

be

more

frank

and

manly

with

me

.

I

reminded

him

of

the

false

hopes

into

which

I

had

lapsed

,

the

length

of

time

they

had

lasted

,

and

the

discovery

I

had

made

:

and

I

hinted

at

the

danger

that

weighed

upon

my

spirits

.

I

represented

myself

as

being

surely

worthy

of

some

little

confidence

from

him

,

in

return

for

the

confidence

I

had

just

now

imparted

.

I

said

that

I

did

not

blame

him

,

or

suspect

him

,

or

mistrust

him

,

but

I

wanted

assurance

of

the

truth

from

him

.

And

if

he

asked

me

why

I

wanted

it

,

and

why

I

thought

I

had

any

right

to

it

,

I

would

tell

him

,

little

as

he

cared

for

such

poor

dreams

,

that

I

had

loved

Estella

dearly

and

long

,

and

that

although

I

had

lost

her

,

and

must

live

a

bereaved

life

,

whatever

concerned

her

was

still

nearer

and

dearer

to

me

than

anything

else

in

the

world

.

And

seeing

that

Mr

.

Jaggers

stood

quite

still

and

silent

,

and

apparently

quite

obdurate

,

under

this

appeal

,

I

turned

to

Wemmick

,

and

said

,

"

Wemmick

,

I

know

you

to

be

a

man

with

a

gentle

heart

.

I

have

seen

your

pleasant

home

,

and

your

old

father

,

and

all

the

innocent

,

cheerful

playful

ways

with

which

you

refresh

your

business

life

.

And

I

entreat

you

to

say

a

word

for

me

to

Mr

.

Jaggers

,

and

to

represent

to

him

that

,

all

circumstances

considered

,

he

ought

to

be

more

open

with

me

!

I

have

never

seen

two

men

look

more

oddly

at

one

another

than

Mr

.

Jaggers

and

Wemmick

did

after

this

apostrophe

.

At

first

,

a

misgiving

crossed

me

that

Wemmick

would

be

instantly

dismissed

from

his

employment

;

but

it

melted

as

I

saw

Mr

.

Jaggers

relax

into

something

like

a

smile

,

and

Wemmick

become

bolder

.

"

What

’

s

all

this

?

"

said

Mr

.

Jaggers

.

"

You

with

an

old

father

,

and

you

with

pleasant

and

playful

ways

?

"

"

Well

!

"

returned

Wemmick

.

"

If

I

don

’

t

bring

’

em

here

,

what

does

it

matter

?

Pip

,

"

said

Mr

.

Jaggers

,

laying

his

hand

upon

my

arm

,

and

smiling

openly

,

"

this

man

must

be

the

most

cunning

impostor

in

all

London

.

"

"

Not

a

bit

of

it

,

"

returned

Wemmick

,

growing

bolder

and

bolder

.

"

I

think

you

’

re

another

.

"

Again

they

exchanged

their

former

odd

looks

,

each

apparently

still

distrustful

that

the

other

was

taking

him

in

.
