“How do you thrive with Mr. Pocket?”
“I live quite pleasantly there; at least-“ It appeared to me that I was losing a chance.
“At least?” repeated Estella.
“As pleasantly as I could anywhere, away from you.”
“You silly boy,” said Estella, “how can you talk such nonsense?”

In her furred travelling-dress, Estella seemed more delicately beautiful than she had ever seemed yet, even in my eyes. Her manner was more winning than she had cared to let it be to me before, and I thought I saw Miss Havisham’s influence in the change.

“I am to come to London the day after to-morrow
by the mid-day coach. I believe it was settled you
should meet me? At all events Miss Havisham has
that impression, and I write in obedience to it.
She sends you her regard.
Yours, Estella.”

He had directed Mrs. Pocket to be brought up as one who must marry a title, and who was to be guarded from the acquisition of plebeian domestic knowledge. So successful a watch and ward had been established over her that she had grown up highly ornamental, but perfectly useless.

The journey from our town to the metropolis, was a journey of about five hours. It was a little past mid-day when the four-horse stage-coach by which I was passenger, got into the ravel of traffic frayed out about the Cross Keys, Wood-street, Cheapside, London.

“I am instructed to communicate to him,” said Mr. Jaggers, throwing his finger at me, sideways, “that he will come into a handsome property. Further, that he be removed from his present sphere of life, and be brought up like a gentleman - as a young fellow of great expectations.”

“Biddy,” I said, after binding her to secrecy, “I want to be a gentleman.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t, if I was you!” she returned. “I don’t think it would answer.”
“Biddy,” said I, with some severity, “I have particular reasons for wanting to be a gentleman.”
“You know best, Pip.”

Als #D66 hier in stinkt zijn ze werkelijk geen knip voor de neus waard. En dat het CDA niet midden is maar gewoon keirechts, wisten we natuurlijk allang.
Wat een ongelofelijke huichelaar is die @henri Gewoon een traditionele CDA’er. De fatsoensrakker wil gaan regeren met de fascistoïde JA21z

Bontenbal noemt kabinet met JA21 erbij ‘meest realistische scenario’
Formatie: De druk op D66-leider Rob Jetten om te formeren met JA21, wordt hier mee groter. Ook komt er haast bij kijken: de partijen willen binnen een maand

I remember Mr. Hubble as a tough high-shouldered stooping old man, of a sawdusty fragrance, with his legs extraordinarily wide apart: so that in my short days I always saw miles of open country between them when I met him coming up the lane.

It was a rimy morning, and very damp. I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window, as if some goblin had been crying over there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief.

Nog voor het weekend voorbij is offerde D66 Rogier van Boxtel in Buitenhof PvdA/GL al op aan de VVD.
Weinig stemmers op Rob Jetten zullen van te voren beseft hebben dat ze de VVD, de voormalige partner van de PVV van Geert Wilders, er gratis bij kregen.
Die zullen zich met Yeşilgöz bedrogen voelen

My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.
