钱是因为他在这里是个好孩子，别期望再要更多的钱！”
我想办法让乔出了这间房屋。在明媚的阳光下，他慢慢地又恢复了正常。事实上，我认为通过这次拜访，他的智商得到了提高，因为当我们走到家的时候，他想出了一个惊奇的聪明的计划。
“喂，”我们到家，我姐姐叫喊着，“你们已经结束了对你们的好小姐们的拜访，不是吗？你们都缠着回家我很惊奇！”
“郝薇香小姐让我捎给她，”乔说着好像努力地去记住这句准确的话，“她最好的祝福，不是吗？匹普。对乔·葛吉瑞夫人说……。”
“最美好的祝福，”我顺从着说。
“并对做的不是太完美表示道歉，那是什么？匹普。”
“敬请，”我说。
“敬请一位夫人出席，”他点点头，通过一句合适的祝词，给了一个男人高兴的印象。
“喂！”我姐姐高兴地说，“她可以早一点送这个祝福，不过，晚送总比不送好。她给这个孩子什么了？”
“什么也没给，”乔马上说，他举起手阻止乔夫人说话。“她给了什么，她给他姐姐的，乔·葛吉瑞夫人，那是她说的，是吗？匹普。”
“她给了多少？”我姐姐大笑起来问道，她确确实实在大笑！
“你说给了10镑怎么样？”乔问道。
“不错，”我姐姐说。
“那比这更多呢，你说给20镑怎么样？”
“那太好了！”我姐姐说。
“喂，你听好，这是25镑！”乔高兴地说，把钱袋递给我姐姐。

I n a single year everything had changed．Before I went to Miss Havisham 's and met Estella，I had always wanted to be apprenticed to Joe，and I had always been happy at home，in spite of my sister' s scolding．Now I was ashamed of my home and my work．I was very miserable．Because of Joe，however，I stayed at the forge and did my best to work hard .I'm glad that I never told him how unhappy I was then. I tried to follow his example and become an honest，happy，hardworking man．But all the time I thought of Estella．My worst fear was that one day she would come to the forge and see me working as a common blacksmith，with black face and hands．She would certainly turn away in disgust．
In the evenings I studied as hard as I could，educating my-self for Estella．Whatever I learnt，I shared with Joe，not，I'm afraid，so that he would be more educated，but so that I would be less ashamed of him in front of Estella．One Sunday Joe and I went out on the marshes，as usual，to study together．I don't think he ever remembered anything from one week to the next，but he smoked his pipe comfortably，looking as intelli－gent as he could . I had a question I had been intending to ask him．
‘Joe,do you think I should visit Miss Havisham again？’
‘Well，Pip，'said Joe，‘will she think you expect her to give you something？ She told me she wouldn't give you any－thing else．'
‘But，Joe， I've been apprenticed nearly a year now，and I've never thanked her！’
‘That's true，Pip，'said Joe slowly．
‘Could you give me a half day's holiday tomorrow，Joe？ I would like to visit Miss Est-Havisham．'
‘Her name isn't Estavisham，as far as I know，Pip，'said Joe very seriously．
‘I know，Joe！Please，Joe！’
‘All right，Pip，but if she isn't happy to see you， better not go again .'
Joe had another blacksmith working for him at the forge．His name was Orlick，and he had no friends or family in the village.He was a big，strong，lazy man，who moved about in a strangely unhurried way，his shoulders bent and his eyes on the ground .For some reason he never liked me，even when I was a child， and when I became Joe's apprentice，he seemed to hate me．When he heard about my half-day holiday，he threw
