Diary entry 2
Today was a most extraordinary day for me, something completely unexpected happened. Uncle Pumblechook, as previously arranged came to collect me from Joe's house, to take me to visit a place called Satis House. It belongs to a lady called Miss Havisham who is very wealthy and important. It took us about 20 minutes to get to there. On our way I began to feel a little nervous and jittery. The prospect of meeting Miss Havisham for the first time was unsettling. There were rumors going round that nobody had ever seen her before, and that she never left the grounds of her house under any circumstances. Who am I supposed to play with? Everything was very confusing, so I finally gave up on finding an answer. The first thing that shocked me when we arrived to the house was its sheer size. It was definitely the biggest I had ever seen, and the sight of it was terrifying for me at first. My first view was of a tall iron gate. In a question of minutes, even of seconds, a beautifully dressed girl neared the gate and fired a scornful look at me and Uncle Pumblechook. I had never seen such a beautiful and elegant girl before.
