I have seen your pleasant home, and your old father, and all the innocent, cheerful playful ways with which you refresh your business life.

And I entreat you to say a word for me to Mr.Jaggers, and to represent to him that, all circumstances considered, he ought to be more open with me!" I have never seen two men look more oddly at one another than Mr.
Jaggers and Wemmick did after this apostrophe.

At first, a misgiving crossed me that Wemmick would be instantly dismissed from his employment; but it melted as I saw Mr.Jaggers relax into something like a smile, and Wemmick become bolder.
"What's all this ?" said Mr.Jaggers.

"You with an old father, and you with pleasant and playful ways ?" "Well!" returned Wemmick.

"If I don't bring 'em here, what does it matter ?" "Pip," said Mr.Jaggers, laying his hand upon my arm, and smiling openly, "this man must be the most cunning impostor in all London." "Not a bit of it," returned Wemmick, growing bolder and bolder.
