Quotation from: Great Expectations

Written by: Charles Dickens


I saw Miss Havisham put her hand to her heart and hold it there, as
she sat looking by turns at Estella and at me.


"It seems," said Estella, very calmly, "that there are sentiments,
fancies - I don't know how to call them - which I am not able to
comprehend. When you say you love me, I know what you mean, as a
form of words; but nothing more. You address nothing in my breast,
you touch nothing there. I don't care for what you say at all. I
have tried to warn you of this; now, have I not?"
