Quotation from: Great Expectations

Written by: Charles Dickens


"Yet a gentleman may not keep a public-house; may he?" said I.


"Not on any account," returned Herbert; "but a public-house may
keep a gentleman. Well! Mr. Havisham was very rich and very proud.
So was his daughter."


"Miss Havisham was an only child?" I hazarded.


"Stop a moment, I am coming to that. No, she was not an only child;
she had a half-brother. Her father privately married again - his
cook, I rather think."
