Pip describes his primary concern as a ‘high mountain above a range of mountains’ – this concern is that Magwitch will be caught.

Pip returns Magwitch’s unopened pocketbook because he does not wish to spend any more of his money. Especially as the money is needed to pay for Magwitch’s escape and Pip is in debt to a lot of people.

Pip runs into Wopsle and is scared by what Wopsle says. Wopsle says there was a man with Pip when Pip wasn’t with anyone. This tells Pip he is being followed.

Pip finds out that Estella has been married . Jaggers suggests that Drummle will make a poor husband. He will either ‘beat or growl’ at Estella. Jagger’s predicts a bad ending for one of them, with Drummle’s weapon his strength and Estella’s her intellect.

At Hounslow Heath 20+ years ago a woman had been found strangled to death. Mr Jagger’s housekeeper, Molly, was accused (she wasn’t his housekeeper yet) and Mr Jagger’s defended her. She was let off. We discover that she had a daughter who went missing.

Jagger’s defended Molly and won the case. He referred to her strong hands in front of Pip as she strangled the woman to death, even though the woman was physically stronger and bigger than her. Pip deduces that Molly is Estella’s mum as she has the same eyes and hands as her.
