(It is now one year after Pips met the convict, and there is a surprise for Pip that will change his heart:)

Part 1: (Mrs Joe and Uncle Pumblechook are riding on a horse drawn cart. They stop outside Mrs Joe’s house and Mrs Joe is shouting for Pip:)

Mrs Joe: "PIP! PIP! PIP! PIP! PIIIIP!"

Mrs Joe: "Well, if that boy is not grateful today, he never will be grateful for anything in his life. But it is only to be hoped he will not be pampered by Miss Havisham."

Uncle Pumblechook: "Not by Ms Havisham madam, she knows better than to pamper a child."

Mrs Joe: " Do you know who Miss Havisham is?"

Pip: "Yes."

Mrs Joe: "Who?"

Pip: "She is the strange lady, who lives in the very large house."

Joe: "She is mad, is she not?"

Mrs Joe: "Hoooeee! She may be mad, but she is rich enough to make this boy his fortune. She wants him to go and play at her house. He had better go and play there, or else..."

Joe: "Well, I wonder how she knows about our Pip?"

Ms Joe: "Oogha, mercy me. Here is me talking to empty heads, with uncle Pumblechook waiting, and that boy covered with dirt from the top of his head to the soles of his feet."

(Mrs Joe grabs Pip and takes to him to roughly wash him and change his clothes:)

Part 2: (Uncle Pumblechook takes Pip in his cart to Miss Havisham’s house:)

Uncle Pumblechook: "Well, ring the bell boy, ring the bell."

Young lady: "What’s your name?"

Uncle Pumblechook: "Pumblechook."

Young lady: "Quite right."

Uncle Pumblechook: "Can you tell the time, boy?"

Pip: "Yes, sir."

Uncle Pumblechook: "What time is it?"

Pip: "It is a quarter past three."

Uncle Pumblechook: "I am always punctual, let that be a lesson to you. You must always be as punctual as me. Always be on time, never be late."

Uncle Pumblechook: "This is Pip."

Young lady: "So, this is Pip, is it?" (She invites Pip to enter the gate. Uncle Pumblechook tries to follow Pip, but she closes the gate to stop him:)

Young lady: "Oh… do you wish to see Miss Havisham?"

Uncle Pumblechook: (Smiling:) "Yes, if Miss Havisham wishes to see me."

Young lady: "Agh, but you see she doesn’t wish to see you, goodbye. Come along boy."

(Pip enters the garden, he looks around it is very strange. The plants are all overgrown and the clock has stopped:)

Pip: "Your clock has stopped miss, it should say a quarter past three."

Young lady: "Don’t loiter boy."

Young lady: "Come along boy. Take your hat off!"

Young lady: "Enter this door boy."

Pip: "After you miss."

Young lady: "Don’t be silly, I am not going in there."

Part 3: (Pip knocks on the large, dark doors:)

Miss Havisham: "Come in." (Miss Havisham stares at Pip:)

Miss Havisham: "Who is it?"

Pip: "Pip ma’am."

Miss Havisham: "Pip?"

Pip: "Pip, ma’am, Mr Pumblechook’s nephew. I have come to play"

Miss Havisham: "Come nearer. Let me look at you. Come, come closer."

Miss Havisham: "Look at me. You are not afraid of a woman who has never seen the sun since the day your were born?"

Pip: "No, ma’am."

Miss Havisham: "Do you know what I touch, here?" (Miss Havisham puts her hand on her heart:)

Pip: "Your heart."

Miss Havisham: "It is broken. Huaghh huhhh."

Miss Havisham: "I sometimes have strange fancies. Now I have a fancy that I would like to see someone play. Plaay… Plaaay." (The young lady enters the room:)

Miss Havisham: "Estella, come here. One day this diamond necklace will be your own my dear, and you will wear it and use it well." (Miss Havisham puts the necklace on Estella’s neck:)

Miss Havisham: "Let me see you play cards with this boy."

Estella: (Disgusted:) "With this boy? He is only a common labouring boy, and look at his boots!"

Miss Havisham: "Well, you can break his heart."

Estella: "Well, what card games do you play boy?"

Pip: "Only beggar-my-neighbour, miss."

Miss Havisham: "Well, begin, begin playing cards."

Part 4: (Estella and Pip begin to play cards while Miss Havisham watches them:)

Estella: "Four threes."

Pip: "One card for a jack."

Estella: "He calls a knave a jack, this boy. What coarse hands you have!" (Pip drops his cards:)

Estella: "You stupid clumsy labouring boy!"

Miss Havisham: "She says many hard and hurtful things about you, but you say nothing about her. What do you think of her?"

Pip: "I don’t like to say what I think of her."

Miss Havisham: "Whisper it in my ear."

Pip: "I think she is very proud."

Miss Havisham: "Anything else?"

Pip: "I think she is very pretty."

Miss Havisham: "Anything else?"

Pip: "I think she is very insulting."

Miss Havisham: "Anything else?"

Pip: "I think I would like to go home now."

Miss Havisham: "And never see her again, even though she is so very pretty?"

Pip: "I am not sure that I would not like to see her again, but I think I would like to go home now."

Miss Havisham: "Well, you can go home soon, play the game till it is finished and then you can go home." (Pip and Estella walk to the gate of the house.)

Estella: "Wait here boy." (Estella walks back into the house, Pip begins to cry and he kicks the wall because he feels so very very unhappy. Estella returns:)

Estella: "Why don’t you cry?"

Pip: "Because I don’t want to cry."

Estella: "Yes you do. You have been crying and you are near crying now!"

(Later that night, Pip is in bed, and he is thinking about Estella:)

Pip: "Long after I had gone to bed that night, I thought of Estella, and how common she would consider that Joe was, only a blacksmith. I thought how he and my sister were sitting in the kitchen, and that Estella and Miss Havisham never sat in the kitchen, but were far above the level of such common things."

Part 5: (One week later Pip returns to Miss Havisham’s house, Estella leads him into the house:)

Estella: "You are to come this way today boy." (They walk through a room where Miss Havisham’s relatives are waiting to see her:)

Miss Sarah Pocket: "Who is that boy? Where is he going to?"

Camilla: "Well, I never… Why is that boy getting in to see Miss Havisham before us? We have been waiting here for ages, and he comes in here and walks straight in to see her. Who is that boy? Why is he getting in to see Miss Havisham?"

(Estella walks in front of Pip, they walk upstairs, Estella turns around quickly, and angrily stares at Pip:)

Estella: "Well?"

Pip: "Well, miss?"

Estella: "Am I pretty?"

Pip: "Yes, I think you are very pretty."

Estella: "Am I insulting?"

Pip: "Well, not so much insulting as you were the last time I came here."

Estella: "Not so much insulting?"

Pip: "No."

Estella: (She slaps Pips face:) "There, take that you coarse little monster! What do you think of me now?"

Pip: "I will not tell you."

Estella: "But you are going to tell Miss Havisham upstairs, is that it?"

Pip: "No, that is not it."

Estella: "Why don’t you cry again you little wretch?"

Pip: "I will never cry for you in my life again!"

Estella: "Go in there boy." (Pip stands looking at another large, dark door:)
