3、ybody called meI lived in a small village in Essex with my sister, who was over twenty years older than me, and married to Joe Gargery, the village blacksmithMy parents had died when I was a baby, so I could not remember them at all, but quite often I used to visit the churchyard, about a mile from
4、the village, to look at their names on their gravestonesMy first memory is of sitting on a gravestone in that churchyard one cold, grey, December afternoon, looking out at the dark, flat, wild marshes divided by the black line of the River Thames, and listening to the rushing sound of the sea in the
5、 distanceDon't say a word!cried a terrible voice, as a man jumped up from among the graves and caught hold of meIf you shout I'll cut your throat!He was a big man, dressed all in grey, with an iron chain on his legHis clothes were wet and tornHe looked exhausted, and hungry, and very fierceI
6、 had never been so frightened in my whole lifeTell me your name, boy!Quick!he said, still holding meAnd show me where you live!My name's Pip, sirAnd I live in the village over thereHe picked me up and turned me upsidedownNothing fell out of my pocket except a piece of old breadHe ate it in two b

9、u tell anyone about me, I'll cut your heart outI promise I'll do it, sir, I answeredI was badly frightened and my whole body was trembling.You see, he continued, smiling unpleasantly, I travel with a young man, a friend of mine, who roasts boys hearts and eats themHe'll find you, whereve
10、r you are, and he'll have your heartSo bring the file and the food to that wooden shelter over there, early tomorrow morning, if you want to keep your heart, that is Remember, you promised!I watched him turn and walk with difficulty across the marshes, the chain hanging clumsily around his legTh
11、en I ran home as fast as I couldMy sister, Mrs Joe Gargery, was very proud of the fact that she had brought me upby handNobody explained to me what this meant, and because she had a hard and heavy hand, which she used freely on her husband as well as me, I supposed that Joe and I were both brought u
12、p by handShe was not a beautiful woman, being tall and thin, with black hair and eyes and a very red faceShe clearly felt that Joe and I caused her a lot of trouble, and she frequently complained about itJoe, on the other hand, was a gentle, kind man with fair hair and weak blue eyes, who quietly ac
13、cepted her scoldingBecause Joe and I were in the same position of being scolded by Mrs Joe, we were good friends, and Joe protected me from her anger whenever he couldSo when I ran breathless into the kitchen, he gave me a friendly warningShe's out looking for you, Pip!And she's got the stic
14、k with her!This stick had been used so often for beating me that it was now quite smoothJust then Mrs Joe rushed inWhere have you been, you young monkey?she shoutedI jumped behind Joe to avoid being hit with the stickOnly to the churchyard, I whispered, starting to cryChurchyard!If I hadn't brou
15、ght you up, you'd be in the churchyard with our parentsYou'll send me to the church-yard one day!Now let me get your supper ready, both of you!For the rest of the evening, I thought of nothing but the stranger on the marshesSometimes, as the wind blew round the house, I imagined I heard his
16、voice outside, and I thought with horror of the young man who ate boysheartsJust before I went to bed, we heard the sound of a big gun on the marshesWas that a gun, Joe?I askedAh!said JoeAnother convict's escapedOne got away last nightThey always fire the gun when one escapesWho fires the gun?I
17、askedJoe shook his head to warn meToo many questions, frowned my sisterIf you must know it's the men in the prison-ships who fire the gunI wonder who is put into prison-ships, and why?I asked, in a general way, quietly desperate to know the answerThis was too much for Mrs JoeListen, my boy, I di
18、dn't bring you up by hand to annoy people to death!There are ships on the river which are used as prisonsPeople who steal and murder are put in the prison-ships, and they stay there for years sometimesAnd they always begin their life of crime by asking too many questions!Now, go to bed!I could n
19、ot sleep at all that nightI was in terror of the man with the iron chain, I was in terror of my sister, who would soon discover I had stolen her foodAs soon as there was a little light in the sky outside my window, I got up and went quietly down to the kitchenI stole some bread, cheese and a big mea
20、t pie, hoping that, as there was a lot of food ready for Christmas, nobody would notice what was missingI did not dare take the whole brandy bottle, so I poured some into a smaller bottle to take away with meThen I filled up the brandy bottle with what I thought was water from a big brown bottleI to
21、ok a file from Joe's box of tools, and ran out on to the dark marshesThe mist was so thick that I could not see anythingAl-though I knew my way to the shelter very well, I almost got lost this timeI was near it when I saw a man sitting on the ground, half asleepI went up and touched his shoulder
22、He jumped up, and it was the wrong man!He was dressed in grey, too, and had an iron chain on his legHe ran away into the mistIt's the young man!I thought, feeling a pain in my heartWhen I arrived at the shelter, I found the right manHe looked so cold and hungry that I felt sorry for himTrembling
23、 violently he swallowed the brandy and ate the food like a hunted animal, looking around him all the time for dangerYou're sure you didn't tell anyone?Or bring anyone?No, sirI'm glad you're enjoying the food, sirThank you, my boyYou've been good to a poor manBut I'm afraid th

25、him half asleep and I thought it was youHe was dressed like you, andI was anxious to express this politely-he had the same reason for wanting to borrow a fileThen I did hear them fire the gun last night!You know, boy, when you're on the marsh alone at night, you imagine all kinds of things, voic

29、own, was a fat, middle-aged man with a mouth like a fish, and staring eyesHe was really Joe's uncle but it was Mrs Joe who called him uncleEvery Christmas Day he arrived with two bottles of wine, handing them proudly to my sisterOh Uncle Pumblechook!This is kind!she always repliedIt's no mor
30、e than you deserve, was the answer every timeSitting at table with these guests I would have felt uncomfortable even if I hadn't robbed my sisterNot only was Pumblechook's elbow in my eye, but I wasn't allowed to speak, and they gave me the worst pieces of meatEven the chickens must have
31、 been ashamed of those parts of their bodies when they were aliveAnd worse than that, the adults never left me in peaceBefore we eat, let us thank God for the food in front of us, said Mr Wopsle, in the deep voice he used in churchDo you hear that?whispered my sister to meBe grateful!Especially, sai
32、d Mr Pumblechook firmly, be grateful, boy, to those who brought you up by handWhy are the young never grateful?wondered Mr Wopsle sadlyTheir characters are naturally bad, answered Mr Pumblechook, and all three looked unpleasantly at meWhen there were guests, Joe's position was even lower than us
33、ualif that was possible, but he always tried to help me if he couldSometimes he comforted me by giving me extra gravyHe did that nowJust imagine, boy, said Mr Pumblechook, if your sister hadn't brought you upYou listen to this, said my sister to me crosslyIf, as I say, she hadn't spent her l
34、ife looking after you, where would you be now?Joe offered me more gravyHe was a lot of trouble to you, madam, Mr Wopsle said sympathetically to my sisterTrouble?she criedTrouble?And then she started on a list of all my illnesses, accidents and crimes, while everybody except Joe looked at me with dis
35、gustJoe added more gravy to the meat swimming on my plate, and I wanted to pull Mr Wopsle's noseIn the end, Mrs Joe stopped for breath, and said to Mr Pumblechook, Have a little brandy;uncleThere is a bottle al-ready openIt had happened at last!Now she would discover I had stolen some brandy, an
36、d put water in the bottleMr Pumblechook held his glass up to the light, smiled importantly at it and drank itWhen, immediately afterwards, he jumped up and began to rush round the room in a strange wild dance, we all stared at him in great surpriseWas he mad?I wondered if I had murdered him, but if
37、so, how?At last he threw himself gasping into a chair, crying Medicine!Then I understoodInstead of filling up the brandy bottle with water, I had put Mrs Joe's strongest and most unpleasant medicine in by mistakeThat was what the big brown bottle containedBut how could my medicine get into a bra
38、ndy bottle?asked my sisterFortunately she had no time to find the answer, as Mr Pumblechook was calling for a hot rum to remove the taste of the medicineAnd now,she said, when the fat man was calmer, you must all try Uncle Pumblechook's pre-sent to us!A really delicious meat pie!That's right
39、, Mrs Joe!said Mr Pumblechook, looking more cheerful now Bring in the pie!You shall have some, Pip, said Joe kindlyI knew what would happen nextI could not sit there any longerI jumped down from the table, and ran out of the roomBut at the front door I ran straight into a group of soldiersMrs Joe wa

41、speaking for myself, I'd like the pleasure of meeting his fine wifeSpeaking for the King, I'd like him to repair these handcuffsAh, very good, very good! said Mr Pumblechook, clap-pingThe soldiers waited in the kitchen while Joe lit the forge fire and started workI began to feel better now t

43、k their headsNobody asked meWhen the handcuffs were ready, Joe suggested we should go with the soldiers, and as Mrs Joe was curious to know what happened, she agreedSo Joe, Mr wopsle and I walked behind the men through the village and out on to the marshes I hope we don't find those poor men, Jo
44、e, I whispered I hope not either, Pip, he whispered backIt was cold, with an east wind blowing from the sea, and it was getting darkSuddenly we all stoppedWe heard shouts in the distanceThis way!Run!the officer ordered, and we all rushed in that directionThe shouts became clearer Murder!Escaped conv

47、 timeI shook my head at him, to show that I had not wanted the soldiers to find himHe stared at me, but I did not know if he understood or notThe prisoners were taken to the riverside, where a boat was waiting to take them on to the prison-shipJust as he was about to leave, my convict said, Officer,

53、 notebook. Great expectationsOne Saturday evening, when I had been apprenticed to Joe for four years, he and I were sitting in the pub, with some of the villagers, listening to Mr WopsleHe was giving a dramatic reading of a newspaper report of a murder trial, and we all enjoyed watching him act the
54、main characters. His witnesses were old and feeble, his lawyers were clever and sharp-eyed, and his accused was a violent, wicked murderer.Suddenly we became aware of a strange gentleman who had also been listening, and was now looking coldly at us.Well!he said to us, biting the side of his finger.S
55、o you've decided the accused was the murderer, have you?'Sir, 'answered Mr Wopsle firmly, yes, I do think he is guilty.We all nodded our heads in agreement.But, said the stranger, do you or do you not know that the law of England supposes every man to be innocent until he is proved-prove
56、d-to be guilty?Sir, began Mr Wopsle, as an Englishman myself, I-Come!said the stranger, don't avoid the questionEither you know it, or you don't know itWhich is it?Of course I know it, answered poor Mr Wopsle.Then why didn't you say so at first?Another question. Do you know that this tri
57、al isn't finished yet?Mr Wopsle hesitated, and we all began to have a rather bad opinion of him.And you were going to say that the accused was guilty, before the end of the trial, before he has been proved guilty!We realized that the unfortunate Wopsle had no understanding of the law, or indeed
58、anything at all.Now the stranger stood in front of our little group.I'm looking for the blacksmith, Joe Gargery, he said, and his apprentice, PipHe did not recognize me but I knew he was the gentleman I had met on the stairs when visiting Miss Havisham. There was even the same smell of perfumed soap on his large hands.I want to speak to you two in private, he said, and so Joe and I left the pub and walked home with himMy name is Jaggers, and I'm a lawyer, he said, when he reached the forgeJoe Gargery, I am sent by someone who sugges
