"Not to go into the things that Compeyson planned, and I done which 'ud take a week I'll simply say to you, dear boy, and Pip's comrade, that that man got me into such nets as made me his black slave.
"The last glass of milk I had, Nellie, was when I was Pip's age, and was Barlow's fag at Rugby. It made me ill, and I have never touched it since." "But this won't hurt you. You will drink this?"
