Quotation from: Great Expectations

Written by: Charles Dickens


When I got back to my breakfast in the Boar's coffee-room, I found
Mr. Pumblechook conversing with the landlord. Mr. Pumblechook (not
improved in appearance by his late nocturnal adventure) was waiting
for me, and addressed me in the following terms.


"Young man, I am sorry to see you brought low. But what else could
be expected! What else could be expected!"


As he extended his hand with a magnificently forgiving air, and as
I was broken by illness and unfit to quarrel, I took it.
