Ch 26-30 "Pip" Cameron Kayne
'Allo mates. The life of a gentleman has been quite a ride; though the feeling of being among the likes of such high class people, they seem to be a little intimidating and weird. I payed a "gentlemanly" visit to Mr. Jaggers' manor and found it to be rather dark and depressing; and his maid, Mollie, wasn't too much of a lovely sight herself! However, I was given a shock when I saw Mr. Joe come to visit me... It was a little awkward for a man of less stature to be in such an upscale place. He spoke to me of some interesting news about the chaps back home; and Estella is finally back at Ms. Havisham's manor, and she wants to see me! I'm really thankful for Mr. Joe telling me this, but I should have shown him some kindness before he left. So in order to show how glad I am for Estella being back and Mr. Joe being a nice mate to me, I traveled back home. The most interesting thing happened! The other people in the coach with me were two escaped prisoners, and one was the strange man who gave me money in the pub that one day! I talked to him and found out that the convict I met in the churchyard told this chap to give the money to me. At that moment, I got off right as soon as possible, thankfully by a hotel, where I saw Uncle Pumblechook on an interesting poster. My stop in town was at Satis House, where I was completely rocked by the proper beauty of Estella's new persona compared to my unworthy complexion. Ms. Havisham did encourage me to commingle with Estella, but I still felt insignificant next to her star-striking manner. I unfortunately found Jaggers in the household that day and decided to rat on ol' Orlick about the fight between my family and himself; that really got him taken care of! When I left the small town for the big city, Herbert and I made a connection in the coach. He told me of his love and how he wanted to marry her, but couldn't because he was so poor. He truly brought me into reality when he confided in me that if Ms. Havisham is really behind the quest to turn me into a gentleman, it didn't mean that I'd marry the marvelous Estella... Though it hurt, it was probably the truth. Well ol' chaps, I don't mave anything else to say, but I hope you all continue to support me on my journey to becoming a proper, English boy. Ta ta for now!

Cameron, I love you. That just made my day.
ReplyDeleteDear Pip,
ReplyDeleteI see nothing in here about you missing me at all, and this hurts my feelings. While you are off being a gentleman, I am here missing you terribly.
Joe (AKA Ali)
Miss Havisham:"Don't resist your true feelings, pip. We both know that you love her."
ReplyDeleteYou thought that my mother wanted me and you to marry?! Ha! You may be a gentleman on the outside, but you will always be a commoner at heart.

Estella: I would never marry you. You are just a commoner. Although I am flattered that you think I am a beauty, I don't think you should have feelings for me.
