Quotation from: Great Expectations

Written by: Charles Dickens


I had never thought of being ashamed of my hands before; but I

when I knew she was lying in wait for me to do wrong; and she
denounced me for a stupid, clumsy labouring-boy.


"You say nothing of her," remarked Miss Havisham to me, as she
looked on. "She says many hard things of you, but you say nothing
of her. What do you think of her?"
