Pip, a young man now, and Joe were confronted by a man that Pip had seen once in Miss Havisham’s house at the 3 Jolly Bargemen. He was a lawyer by the name of Mr. Jaggers. He had come to inform Pip and Joe that Pip was to be released of his apprenticeship and to be brought up as a gentleman, if Joe so wished (he would be crazy not to accept this proposition). Pip and Joe, both completely astonished and overjoyed, quickly agreed to this (man, he just keeps getting luckier and luckier), Joe wanting nothing in return for the loss of Pip’s services. However, there were some conditions that came with the gentleman title (it doesn’t matter what the conditions are, he’s gonna be a rich gentleman! Pip is definitely thinking, “WOOOOOOOOO, I’m gonna be good enough to marry Estella!!! WOOOOOOO). He must always go by the name of Pip and his benefactor will remain a secret until that person chooses to reveal him/herself. He must also be tutored in the ways of a gentleman. This man will be Mathew Pocket (the same dude that is going to be at the head of the table at the loopy old hag’s funeral!). Mr. Jaggers also leaves Pip, my friend Pip, with the enormous sum of twenty guineas to by the suitable attire of a gentleman (luckeeeeyyy). Before he knows it, Pip’s dream has come true. With his head in the clouds, he told Biddy and Mrs. Joe the good news, cries of elation and congratulations coming from both of them. In five days, Pip left for London to become a true gentleman and to win the heart of the hot babe.
