And you have seen her still more recently." "Yes?" said Mr. Jaggers. "Perhaps I know more of Estella's history than even you do," said I. "I know her father too." A certain stop that Mr. Jaggers came to in his manner he was too self-possessed to change his manner, but he could not help its being brought to an indefinably attentive stop assured me that he did not know who her father was.
