We went down on the next day but one, and we found her in the room where I had first beheld her, and it is needless to add that there was no change in Satis House. She was even more dreadfully fond of Estella than she had been when I last saw them together; I repeat the word advisedly, for there was something positively dreadful in the energy of her looks and embraces.
"Beggar him," said Miss Havisham to Estella. So we sat down to cards, and Miss Havisham sat, corpse-like, watching as we played. "He calls the knaves Jacks, this boy," said Estella, with disdain, before the first game was out. "And what coarse hands he has, and what thick boots!" I had never thought of being ashamed of my hands before, but now I began to notice them.
"'Make yourself very entertaining to the Prince, I replied, 'and keep his thoughts away from the stranger. Estella pleads sickness and keeps her room; and we may be able to protect her in that way until the fateful night arrives.
"Calls me proud and inflexible in this breath!" said Estella, opening her hands. "And in his last breath reproached me for stooping to a boor!" "There is no doubt you do," said I, something hurriedly, "for I have seen you give him looks and smiles this very night, such as you never give to me."
"Nonsense," she returned, "nonsense. This will pass in no time." "Never, Estella!" "You will get me out of your thoughts in a week." "Out of my thoughts! You are part of my existence, part of myself.

Senora Barenna looked from one to the other, and shrugged her shoulders. Like many women she was a strange mixture of foolishness and worldly wisdom. She adjusted her mantilla and mutely appealed to Heaven with a glance of her upturned eyes. Conyngham, who was no diplomatist, nor possessed any skill in concealing his thoughts, looked with some interest at Julia Barenna, and Estella watched him.
It may have its effect on others, and may be meant to have. It's not worth discussing." "Yes it is," said I, "because I cannot bear that people should say, 'she throws away her graces and attractions on a mere boor, the lowest in the crowd." "I can bear it," said Estella. "Oh! don't be so proud, Estella, and so inflexible."
'Yes; they are with Estella in the house you know unless you have forgotten it. 'No, answered Conyngham getting out of the saddle. 'No; I have forgotten nothing. Concepcion came forward and led the horse away. 'I will walk to the Casa Vincente. Have you the time to accompany me? said Conyngham. 'I have always time for my neighbour's business, replied Concha. And they set off together.
She gradually withdrew her eyes from me, and turned them on the fire. After watching it for what appeared in the silence and by the light of the slowly wasting candles to be a long time, she was roused by the collapse of some of the red coals, and looked towards me again at first, vacantly then, with a gradually concentrating attention. All this time Estella knitted on.
'I should have given the confounded letter to the Alcalde of Ronda if it had not been that a lady would have suffered for it, and let you take your chance, Senor Larralde. Larralde shrugged his shoulders. 'You would not have given it to the Alcalde of Ronda, he said in a sneering voice, 'because you want it yourself. You require it in order to make your peace with Estella Vincente.
