This business transacted, I turned my face, on my own account, to Little Britain.

Mr.Jaggers was at his desk, but, seeing me enter, got up immediately and stood before his fire.
"Now, Pip," said he, "be careful." "I will, sir," I returned.

For, coming along I had thought well of what I was going to say.
"Don't commit yourself," said Mr.Jaggers, "and don't commit any one.
You understand--any one.

Don't tell me anything: I don't want to know anything; I am not curious." Of course I saw that he knew the man was come.
"I merely want, Mr.Jaggers," said I, "to assure myself that what I have been told is true.

I have no hope of its being untrue, but at least I may verify it." Mr.Jaggers nodded.
