Great Expectations, Chapter 46 — краткое содержание

Что происходит

1. Handel finds Mrs. Whimple’s house at Mill Pond Bank, where Herbert introduces Clara and describes her demanding father.
2. Upstairs, Handel warns Provis about suspicion and surveillance but conceals Compeyson’s involvement to prevent a reckless confrontation.
3. Herbert proposes regular rowing trips so taking Provis downstream need not attract attention.
4. They arrange a window-blind signal, and Handel learns that Provis lives there under the name Mr. Campbell.
5. Handel obtains a boat and practices rowing; the agreed signal confirms that Provis is safe.
6. Despite Herbert’s reassuring reports, Handel remains anxious and imagines pursuers approaching along the river.

На что обратить внимание

The sentence centers Handel’s fear on Provis’s safety. Practical precautions do not remove his sense of danger.
