Pip goes to Little Britain to see Wemmick to confirm his suspicions about Magwitch being Estella’s daddy.

Pip persuades Jaggers to share the information on Estella by telling him that he loves her and that he could present it to him as a hypothetical ‘case’.

Jaggers refers to Wemmick as the most ‘cunning imposter in all of London’ because Jaggers did not know anything at all about Wemmick’s personality or life outside of work.

Jaggers did not know that Wemmick could be playful.

Jaggers poses his story about Estella as hypothetical so that the story cannot be used against him.

When Pip arrives at Clarriker House he discovers that the business is expanding and Herbert is to take charge of the new premises.

Startop is involved in the plan to rescue Magwitch because Pip cannot row with his burnt hands. Startop is a friend who is trustworthy and will not need paid.

Pip leaves London for the Marshes on Monday as he receives a letter telling him to come there to get more information on Magwitch. He decides to go because it might have something to do with Magwitch’s escape. He needs to get back to London for the escape plan to work.
