That first chapter of “Great Expectations” was so full of plot holes I’m still scratching my head...
Wonderful description of the former fen country but who was the fellow convict Magwitch enlisted Pip to aid who then ran down Magwitch and got them both recaptured? Or something like that?
The chap, whose name I forget, was an accomplice of Magwitch who was part of the team that absconded part of Miss Havisham’s fortune. I think that guy, whose name escapes me, was the one who fooled Miss Havisham into believing he loved her and wanted to marry her and then jilted her on the altar.
