Chapter 3:

Pip has stollen food and brandy from the pantry and files from the workshop and given it to the convict he meets the “young man” in the marshes who he was threatened with by his convict, he gives the food and the file to the convict. Pip returned home expecting to be arrested but was not. Mrs. Joe is cleaning the house for later and Joe is out of her way on the kitchen door step. Joe and Pip go to the church and Mrs. Joe attends vicariously, when Pip and Joe return home for dinner and do also with Mr. Wosple, Mr. and Mrs. Hubble and Uncle Pumblechook (Joe’s uncle). This dinner was not good for Pip for throughout the dinner he was criticised by the adults for simply being and “ungrateful child”. After the dinner they decide to drink Brandi which worries Pip because in order to make it seem he hadn’t taken any to the convict he fill the rest of the bottle with tar-water. Mr. Pumblechook had a glass and then pulled ” hidious faces” , and yeld “Tar!”

As they proceeded to have the pie, from which Pip had taken, Pip ran for the door at speed but was stopped by a party of soldiers at the door with handcuffs .
