Mr. Jaggers informs Pip he will have a generous allowance from his benefactor till he comes of age. He settles in happily with Herbert Pocket who introduces him to Startop and the detestable Bentley Drummle. Herbert tells him Miss Havisham was deserted by a scoundrel on her wedding day. Pip soon becomes a fashionable young gentleman, and the bills begin to roll in. One evening he sees Mr. Jaggers's strange house-keeper, Molly.
