Miss Havisham hears of Pip through Mr. Pumblechook.

Excerpt: 'And couldn't she ask Uncle Pumblechook is he knew a boy to go and play there? Isn't it just barely possible that Uncle Pumblechook may be a tenant of hers, and that he may sometimes - we won't say quarterly or half-yearly, for that would be requiring too much of you - but sometimes - go there to pay his rent? And couldn't she then ask Uncle Pumblechook if he knew a boy to go and play there? And couldn't Uncle Pumblechook, being always considerate and thoughtful of us - though you may not think if, Joseph,' in a tone of depest reproach, as if he were the most callous of nephews, 'then mention this boy, standing Prancing here'--which I solemly declare I was not doing--'that I have for ever been a willing to slave to?' ~ Mrs. Joe Gargery; wife of Joe Gargery, blacksmith.
