Pip: Why are you going to Richmond, Estella?
Estella: I am going to live, at a great expense, with a lady there who has the power or so she has of taking me about and introducing me, and showing people to me, and showing me to people.
[sipping tea]
Pip: You'll have a gay time and be much admired. You must look forward to that, Estella.
Estella: It's part of Miss Havisham's plan for me, Pip. I shan't take any great pleasure in events which I don't shape, but I shall be beautiful and I shall be gay, I shall be obedient and I shall write regularly of my gaiety.
Pip: Will you always be part of Miss Havisham's plan, Estella?
