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.
It’s only been ten years or so, I’m pretty sure that there was not mention of any connection between Magwitch and Miss Havisham. We are never given a list of Magwitch’s crimes, only that he was transported to Australia, finished his sentence and made a fortune sheep herding, or some such and broke his parole by smuggling himself back to England.
No mention of Miss Havisham ever having been robbed or defrauded, just left at the altar and going nuts as a result. That said, I’d like to know who was the maker of her wedding dress, which Dickens describes her wearing for thirty+ years. I read the book after seeing the ‘98 movie version with Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow. Anne Bancroft’s take on Miss Havisham was a lot more engaging than the literary original.
