Pip is telling me the story of the first large bump in his life right now. This pot hole is the passing away of his sister (WOOOHOOO!!!! Sorry Pip). Anywho, Pip was stricken with grief and immediately sent a letter to Joe, giving him his condolences and informing him that he would be attending the funeral. When Pip arrived and met up with Joe, all Joe could say was, " Pip, old chap, you know'd her when she were a fine figure of a...". Joe was heartbroken and Pip truly felt bad for him for the first time. Mr. Pumblechook was also at the funeral. Unfortunately, he was only there for the food (fat pig). Pip, Joe, and all their other relatives formed a procession down the street to the graveyard with Pip's sister's dead body. She was laid right next to her parents and four brothers. Pip then promised Joe that, after his loss, he will visit him often. However, Biddy doesn't believe that he will because he is so busy with his own life in the city (is very right, Pip probably will, most likely, never visit him. Biddy also noticed Orlick hiding under a dark tree on the day Mrs. Joe died, as well as a few minutes after she was buried(stalker). Pip, with his sister dead and a vengeful, stalking journeyman on the loose, felt very sad at the end of the day, leaving him wishing his sister was still alive.
