"O yes, you are to see me; you are to come when you think proper; you are to be mentioned to the family; indeed you are already mentioned."

     I inquired was it a large household she was going to be a member of?

     "No; there are only two; mother and daughter. The mother is a lady of some station, though not averse to increasing her income."

     "I wonder Miss Havisham could part with you again so soon."

     "It is a part of Miss Havisham's plans for me, Pip," said Estella, with a sigh, as if she were tired; "I am to write to her constantly and see her regularly and report how I go on,--I and the jewels,--for they are nearly all mine now."

     It was the first time she had ever called me by my name. Of course she did so purposely, and knew that I should treasure it up.
