The story so far:
On his twenty-first birthday, Pip receives £500 a year, but learns no more about his benefactor. Joe brings him a message from Miss Havisham; Pip has become a snob, and with quiet dignity Joe says their ways must part. Pip finds Orlick employed at Satis House and gets him dismissed. Orlick vows revenge. Estella has returned from abroad more beautiful than ever - she warns Pip she has no heart. Miss Havisham orders Pip to be Estella's escort when she enters society in Richmond.
