It was time for Magwitch to escape and be free. The plan was for us to row all day and then take a steam boat the next morning. However, somehow Compeyson knew of our plans and showed up with officers. Magwitch and Compeyson got in this huge fight and fell into the water. When it was all over and done with, Magwitch was badly hurt and Compeyson was nowhere to be found. Magwitch was taken to prison and sentenced to death, but he was obviously going to die of his injuries before he could be put to death. I couldn't let him die without telling him that he had a daughter named Estella and she was so very beautiful and how she was perfectly content with her new husband. Magwitch died a happy man.

I went back to my home in London, and started working for Herbert Pocket, my old friend. As a few years passed I gradually worked my way up and became his partner. Clarriker told Herbert that I gave him all the money he needed to start his business, and I think that helped a little bit with me becoming his partner, but that is beside the point. The point is that I was happy with my current situation as a successful businessman, doing what I wanted to do all along.

Next, it was time to make things right with Joe. He had been my friend for so long and had always been there for me when I needed it most. It was the right thing to do, visiting him.

Lastly, I visited the Satis House. Although there was not much left of it, the property held many memories both good and bad, and I thought I was re-living one when I saw Estella off in the distance. After I got a better look, I realized that it was actually her! We talked for quite sometime about her life and mine. She had apparently remarried because her old husband was killed by a horse that he abused. Estella was very happy with her current situation and quite frankly, I was happy for her. Estella and I will always be friends.
