The story so far:
On Pip's sixteenth birthday, Miss Havisham signs the papers apprenticing him to Joe and tells him not to come any more. Pip is wretched and longs to see Estella; he goes one day to Satis House and learns she is at school abroad. That same day, Mrs. Joe and Orlick quarrel violently; later, Joe finds her lying unconscious in the forge - she has been struck on the head. Biddy, Pip's former teacher, comes to nurse Mrs. Joe, who has lost the power to speak; Biddy, however, is convinced that she was struck down by Orlick.
