Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Great Expectations, Vol. 2
After well considering the matter while I was dress ing at the Blue Boar in the morning, I resolved to tell my guardian that I doubted Orlich's being the right sort of man to fill a post of trust at Miss Havisham's. Why of course he is not the right sort of man, Pip, said my guardian, comfortably satisfied beforehand on the general head, because the man who fills the post of trust never is the right sort of man. It seemed quite to put him into spirits, to find that this particular post was not exceptionally held by the right sort of man, and he listened in a satisfied manner while I told him what knowledge I had of Orlick. Very good, Pip, he observed, when I had concluded, I'll go round presently, and pay our friend off. Rather alarmed by this summary action, I was for a little delay, and even hinted that our friend himself might be difficult to deal with. Oh no he won't, said my guardian, making his pocket-handkerchief-point with perfect confidence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
