Pip the Narrator

Reminiscing about the past, when all this was just expectations - great ones. Tweeting as part of @GEReadalong

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

Wait, what now? I feel so exposed...

[Pete Orford @DrPeteOrford]

For 8 months I've been tweeting sarcastically for @GEReadalong as @GE_OldPip while @EmmaLCurry was all wide-eyed as @GE_YoungPip - it's a sorry state of affairs for her if she turns into me when she's older!

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

*sobs* ...still...*wails* ...so...*blows nose loudly* ...WOUNDED!!!... *beats chest, gnashes teeth, tears hair, plays Celine Dion "All by myself" on repeat*

[Mr Jaggers @GE_Jaggers]

@GE_EstellaH And lawyers, such as myself, flourish in consequence. All's well that ends well, dear lady. After all, time (and successful real estate deals, acquisition of capital, etc.) heal all wounded heart's...except for @GE_YoungPip's

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

Yeah...that's not gonna end well.

[Pip Pirrip @GE_YoungPip]

@GE_JoeGargery I'm awake Joe! And I'm coming to visit you! With grand plans 😀😍👰❤ #matrimonyonmymind #lookoutladies #pipplans

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

@GE_Jaggers @GE_Wemmick @GE_YoungPip @GEReadalong No-one doubts the cleaning power of @GE__Molly - kills 99.9% of bacteria (and maybe an employer or two as well?)

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

@GE_JoeGargery @GE_YoungPip But I'm tired... (and less of the old, please dear Joe).

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

@GE_YoungPip Don't worry young 'un. You'll recover.

Eventually.

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

Tell me about it - I've been reliving this stuff for years now. #recurringdream

[Joe Gargery @GE_JoeGargery]

Pip, Old Chap @GE_YoungPip , you 'ave ta come round now, you've been a driftin in an out of consciousness and a mutterin the oncommonest strange things.

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

Ah @GE_Jaggers - soft hands, hard heart.

[Mr Jaggers @GE_Jaggers]

I would say "Take my advice, @GE_YoungPip," but since you never have before, why begin now, at this late stage in the novel? I say nothing of the immense fortune kept for you in New South Wales along with great tracts of land, etc. fit for a gentleman #notthatyouare #clearly

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

Sometimes my younger self is so embarrassing #oversharing #getaroom #shoutycaps

[Pip Pirrip @GE_YoungPip]

Listen closely to this, @GE_Magwitch (and Twitter). Your daughter is living now. She is a lady and very beautiful. And I LOVE HER! #declarations #sniff #dontmentionthebitaboutDrummle #pipproblems

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

@GE_YoungPip Well that ended well. #washout

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

*grits teeth and narrows eyes* Orlick...

[Dolge Orlick @GE_Orlick]

I'm back Pip, I'm back.

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

*gasps* I KNEW IT!!! https://t.co/riZgFeSlvj

[Mr Jaggers @GE_Jaggers]

Why am I standing with my back to the fire so soon after @GE_MissHavisham's mishap? Perhaps to inspire an increasingly harried @GE_YoungPip with the awful notion that yet another of his dwindling guardian figures might disappear before his eyes in a puff of smoke @GEReadalong

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

DON'T GO!!! https://t.co/QVOklJRJIm

[Pip Pirrip @GE_YoungPip]

Mysterious note inviting me to secret meeting on the marshes this evening - to go or not to go Twitter? #intriguing #anotherdramatictwist #pipproblems

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

I'm still shocked when I think of @GE__Molly being the mother of @GE_EstellaH - not least that I didn't spot it sooner. I'm usually so astute and observant...

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

How those words haunt me still: DON'T GO HOME.
SHAN'T GO HOME.
N'ENTRE PAS DE MAISON.
GO HOME, DO NOT.

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

Oh good, we've moved on from looking at the time when I was a pretentious idiot and now we're dwelling on when I was absolutely miserable.

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

@GE_YoungPip @GE_Herbert @GE_Magwitch I'm still working on it, kid.

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

"Happy" memories of just me and my "uncle" hanging out this week. Well that disguise worked... #notgivingupthedayjob #stealthmode

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

AND BRUCE WILLIS IS A GHOST??? #neversawitcoming #magwitch

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

And now at last, reader, you know my SHOCKING SECRET...the BAFFLING and UTTERLY UNPREDICTABLE truth...that my benefactor was...in fact... @GE_Magwitch !!!

...

Wait, what do you mean you already knew?

[Pip the Narrator @GE_OldPip]

ORSON WELLES *IS* THE THIRD MAN!?!?! #neversawitcoming #magwitch
