The man, a convict who has escaped from a prison ship, scares Pip into stealing him some food and a file to grind away his leg shackle. This incident is crucial: firstly, it gives Pip, who must steal the goods from his sister's house, his first taste of true guilt, and, secondly, Pip's kindness warms the convict's heart. The convict, however, waits many years to truly show his gratitude.At his sister's house, Pip is a boy without expectations. Mrs. Joe beats him around and has nothing good to say about her little brother. Her husband Joe is a kind man, although he is a blacksmith without much ambition, and it's assumed that Pip will follow in his footsteps. Only when Pip gets invited unexpectedly to the house of a rich old woman in the village named Miss Havisham, does Mrs. Joe, or any of her dull acquaintances, hold out any hope for Pip's success. 517 $aGreat Expectations 610 $aEngland 610 $aMan-woman relationships 610 $aBritish and irish fiction (fictional works by one author) 610 $aFiction 676 $a823.8 700 $aDickens$b Charles$0154882 702 $aScofield$b Paul$f1922-2008$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148884903321 996 $aGreat expectations$924276 997 $aUNINA
