Quotation from: Great Expectations

Written by: Charles Dickens


Miss Havisham beckoned her to come close, and took up a jewel from
the table, and tried its effect upon her fair young bosom and
against her pretty brown hair. "Your own, one day, my dear, and you
will use it well. Let me see you play cards with this boy."


"With this boy? Why, he is a common labouring-boy!"


I thought I overheard Miss Havisham answer - only it seemed so
unlikely - "Well? You can break his heart."
