Great Expectations

Charles Dickens ElecBook Classics

Chapter 1

y father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian

name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both

names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I

called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.

I give Pirrip as my father’s family name, on the authority of his

tombstone and my sister—Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the

blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw

any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the

days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were

like, were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. The shape

of the letters on my father’s, gave me an odd idea that he was a

square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character

and turn of the inscription, “Also Georgiana Wife of the Above,” I

drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and

sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half

long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and

were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine—who

gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal

struggle—I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that

they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their

trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of

existence.

Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as the

river wound, twenty miles of the sea. My first most vivid and broad

impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have been

gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening. At such a

time I found out for certain, that this bleak place overgrown with

nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip, late of this

parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and

buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and

Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were also dead and buried;

and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard,

intersected with dykes and mounds and gates, with scattered

cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that the low leaden line

beyond, was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which

the wind was rushing, was the sea; and that the small bundle of

shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning to cry, was Pip.

“Hold your noise!” cried a terrible voice, as a man started up

from among the graves at the side of the church porch. “Keep still,

you little devil, or I’ll cut your throat!”

A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. A

man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied

round his head. A man who had been soaked in water, and

smothered in mud, and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and

stung by nettles, and torn by briars; who limped, and shivered,

and glared and growled; and whose teeth chattered in his head as

he seized me by the chin.

“O! Don’t cut my throat, sir,” I pleaded in terror. “Pray don’t do

it, sir.”

“Tell us your name!” said the man. “Quick!”

“Pip, sir.”

“Once more,” said the man, staring at me. “Give it mouth!”

“Pip. Pip, sir.”

“Show us where you live,” said the man. “Pint out the place!”

I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among

the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church.

The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside

down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a

piece of bread. When the church came to itself—for he was so

sudden and strong that he made it go head over heels before me,

and I saw the steeple under my feet—when the church came to

itself, I say, I was seated on a high tombstone, trembling, while he

ate the bread ravenously.

“You young dog,” said the man, licking his lips, “what fat

cheeks you ha’ got.”

I believe they were fat, though I was at that time undersized for

my years, and not strong.

“Darn me if I couldn’t eat em,” said the man, with a threatening

shake of his head, “and if I han’t half a mind to’t!”

I earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn’t, and held

tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep

myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.

“Now lookee here!” said the man. “Where’s your mother?”

“There, sir!” said I.

He started, made a short run, and stopped and looked over his

shoulder.

“There, sir!” I timidly explained. “Also Georgiana. That’s my

mother.”

“Oh!” said he, coming back. “And is that your father alonger

your mother?”

“Yes, sir,” said I; “him too; late of this parish.”

“Ha!” he muttered then, considering. “Who d’ye live with—

supposin’ you’re kindly let to live, which I han’t made up my mind

about?”

“My sister, sir—Mrs. Joe Gargery—wife of Joe Gargery, the

Great Expectations

blacksmith, sir.”

“Blacksmith, eh?” said he. And looked down at his leg.

After darkly looking at his leg and me several times, he came

closer to my tombstone, took me by both arms, and tilted me back

as far as he could hold me; so that his eyes looked most powerfully

down into mine, and mine looked most helplessly up into his.

“Now lookee here,” he said, “the question being whether you’re

to be let to live. You know what a file is?”

“Yes, sir.”

“And you know what wittles is?”

“Yes, sir.”

After each question he tilted me over a little more, so as to give

me a greater sense of helplessness and danger.

“You get me a file.” He tilted me again. “And you get me

wittles.” He tilted me again. “You bring ’em both to me.” He tilted

me again. “Or I’ll have your heart and liver out.” He tilted me

again.

I was dreadfully frightened, and so giddy that I clung to him

with both hands, and said, “If you would kindly please to let me

keep upright, sir, perhaps I shouldn’t be sick, and perhaps I could

attend more.”

He gave me a most tremendous dip and roll, so that the church

jumped over its own weather-cock. Then, he held me by the arms,

in an upright position on the top of the stone, and went on in these

fearful terms:

“You bring me, to-morrow morning early, that file and them

wittles. You bring the lot to me, at that old Battery over yonder.

You do it, and you never dare to say a word or dare to make a sign

concerning your having seen such a person as me, or any person
