Estella finds out Pip is a ‘common’ boy.<\/em>
\n\u201cHer contempt for me was so strong, that it became infectious, and I caught it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Estella gets excited seeing Pip and Herbert fight in Satis House garden<\/em>

\n\u201cI have been bent and broken, but \u2013 I hope \u2013 into a better shape\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and\u2026 I saw no shadow of another parting from her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
