Miss
Skiffins
was
of
a
wooden
appearance
,
and
was
,
like
her
escort
,
in
the
post
-
office
branch
of
the
service
.
She
might
have
been
some
two
or
three
years
younger
than
Wemmick
,
and
I
judged
her
to
stand
possessed
of
portable
property
.
The
cut
of
her
dress
from
the
waist
upward
,
both
before
and
behind
,
made
her
figure
very
like
a
boy
’
s
kite
;
and
I
might
have
pronounced
her
gown
a
little
too
decidedly
orange
,
and
her
gloves
a
little
too
intensely
green
.
But
she
seemed
to
be
a
good
sort
of
fellow
,
and
showed
a
high
regard
for
the
Aged
.
I
was
not
long
in
discovering
that
she
was
a
frequent
visitor
at
the
Castle
;
for
,
on
our
going
in
,
and
my
complimenting
Wemmick
on
his
ingenious
contrivance
for
announcing
himself
to
the
Aged
,
he
begged
me
to
give
my
attention
for
a
moment
to
the
other
side
of
the
chimney
,
and
disappeared
.
Presently
another
click
came
,
and
another
little
door
tumbled
open
with
"
Miss
Skiffins
"
on
it
;
then
Miss
Skiffins
shut
up
and
John
tumbled
open
;
then
Miss
Skiffins
and
John
both
tumbled
open
together
,
and
finally
shut
up
together
.
On
Wemmick
’
s
return
from
working
these
mechanical
appliances
,
I
expressed
the
great
admiration
with
which
I
regarded
them
,
and
he
said
,
"
Well
,
you
know
,
they
’
re
both
pleasant
and
useful
to
the
Aged
.
And
by
George
,
sir
,
it
’
s
a
thing
worth
mentioning
,
that
of
all
the
people
who
come
to
this
gate
,
the
secret
of
those
pulls
is
only
known
to
the
Aged
,
Miss
Skiffins
,
and
me
!
"
"
And
Mr
.
Wemmick
made
them
,
"
added
Miss
Skiffins
,
"
with
his
own
hands
out
of
his
own
head
.
"
While
Miss
Skiffins
was
taking
off
her
bonnet
(
she
retained
her
green
gloves
during
the
evening
as
an
outward
and
visible
sign
that
there
was
company
)
,
Wemmick
invited
me
to
take
a
walk
with
him
round
the
property
,
and
see
how
the
island
looked
in
wintertime
.
Thinking
that
he
did
this
to
give
me
an
opportunity
of
taking
his
Walworth
sentiments
,
I
seized
the
opportunity
as
soon
as
we
were
out
of
the
Castle
.
Having
thought
of
the
matter
with
care
,
I
approached
my
subject
as
if
I
had
never
hinted
at
it
before
.
I
informed
Wemmick
that
I
was
anxious
in
behalf
of
Herbert
Pocket
,
and
I
told
him
how
we
had
first
met
,
and
how
we
had
fought
.
I
glanced
at
Herbert
’
s
home
,
and
at
his
character
,
and
at
his
having
no
means
but
such
as
he
was
dependent
on
his
father
for
;
those
,
uncertain
and
unpunctual
.
I
alluded
to
the
advantages
I
had
derived
in
my
first
rawness
and
ignorance
from
his
society
,
and
I
confessed
that
I
feared
I
had
but
ill
repaid
them
,
and
that
he
might
have
done
better
without
me
and
my
expectations
.
Keeping
Miss
Havisham
in
the
background
at
a
great
distance
,
I
still
hinted
at
the
possibility
of
my
having
competed
with
him
in
his
prospects
,
and
at
the
certainty
of
his
possessing
a
generous
soul
,
and
being
far
above
any
mean
distrusts
,
retaliations
,
or
designs
.
For
all
these
reasons
(
I
told
Wemmick
)
,
and
because
he
was
my
young
companion
and
friend
,
and
I
had
a
great
affection
for
him
,
I
wished
my
own
good
fortune
to
reflect
some
rays
upon
him
,
and
therefore
I
sought
advice
from
Wemmick
’
s
experience
and
knowledge
of
men
and
affairs
,
how
I
could
best
try
with
my
resources
to
help
Herbert
to
some
present
income
—
say
of
a
hundred
a
year
,
to
keep
him
in
good
hope
and
heart
—
and
gradually
to
buy
him
on
to
some
small
partnership
.
I
begged
Wemmick
,
in
conclusion
,
to
understand
that
my
help
must
always
be
rendered
without
Herbert
’
s
knowledge
or
suspicion
,
and
that
there
was
no
one
else
in
the
world
with
whom
I
could
advise
.
I
wound
up
by
laying
my
hand
upon
his
shoulder
,
and
saying
,
"
I
can
’
t
help
confiding
in
you
,
though
I
know
it
must
be
troublesome
to
you
;
but
that
is
your
fault
,
in
having
ever
brought
me
here
.
"
Wemmick
was
silent
for
a
little
while
,
and
then
said
with
a
kind
of
start
,
"
Well
you
know
,
Mr
.
Pip
,
I
must
tell
you
one
thing
.
This
is
devilish
good
of
you
.
"
"
Say
you
’
ll
help
me
to
be
good
then
,
"
said
I
.
"
Ecod
,
"
replied
Wemmick
,
shaking
his
head
,
"
that
’
s
not
my
trade
.
"
"
Nor
is
this
your
trading
-
place
,
"
said
I
.
