Chapter LII

 

Size: 30 cm x 30 cm

A crestfallen Pip is blackmailed to meet someone at the marshes lest something bad happens to Provis.

The preparations for the flight of the convict Provis from British territory meets a sudden hurdle with 
Pip's incapacitated arm due to having saved Miss Havisham from the flames. As a resort, he and Herbert decide
to include Startop in the rescue operations, since they need a second oarsman in the boat with which
they'll escort Provis to a steamboat bound to foreign lands. Having thus settled the problem, Pip 
returns to his lodgings at Temple, with the intent of waiting out the remaining days to the flight.
However, he spots a dirty letter at the entrance directed to him, which ushers him to come either the same night, or the next night to the little sluice-house at the limekiln on the marshes if he cares for Provis's safety. 

Pip, severely aggravated, looks dejected at a mirror on a table while almost lifelessly letting his hand with the letter repose at the foot of the mirror. Without thinking for too long, he rushes out of the building to get
the last coach to Kent, forgetting in the heat the letter on the table, which will prompt Herbert to aid to his rescue later.
