Great Expectations

After I had pondered a little over this encouraging sentiment, I asked

Mr. Jaggers if I could send for a coach? He said it was not worth while,

I was so near my destination; Wemmick should walk round with me, if I

pleased.

I then found that Wemmick was the clerk in the next room. Another clerk

was rung down from up stairs to take his place while he was out, and I

accompanied him into the street, after shaking hands with my guardian.

We found a new set of people lingering outside, but Wemmick made a way

among them by saying coolly yet decisively, "I tell you it's no use; he

won't have a word to say to one of you;" and we soon got clear of them,

and went on side by side.
