This is what Pip brings back from the meshes:
"Since that time, which is far enough away now, I have often thought that few people know what secrecy there is in the young, under terror. No matter how unreasonable the terror, so that it be terror."
Out in the dark or warm at home, Pip is alone. π°
And then whoosh from the boundless cold marshes, here we are in this tiny warm little house full of Pip's living family... of 2. So much info! Just as cinematic but quick takes btwn the 3 people in that house. My initial take is how hilarious yet terrible Mrs. Joe is to me now. And ...relatable? π°
