"This was all I heard that night before my sister clutched me, as a slumberous offence to the company's eyesight and assisted me to up to bed with such a strong hand that I seemed to have fifty boots on, and to be dangling them all against the edges of the stairs. My state of mind, as I have described it, began before I was up in the morning, and lasted long after the subject had died out, and had ceased to be mentioned saving on exceptional occasions." (73)
Some people might understand this but I don't understand what Dickens is trying to purvey. What is Pip talking about and why did his sister beat him for going with Joe to catch the convict?
