Great Expectations
Why do you suppose Pip never marries during this time? (during his 11 years in the east)
ch 59
ch 59
Pip now considers himself a confirmed bachelor. He has settled comfortably in Herbert and Clara's home.
"So Herbert and Clara say, but I don't think I shall, Biddy. I have so settled down in their home, that it's not at all likely. I am already quite an old bachelor."
