Pip had only heard of Miss. Havisham at this point. He knew she was, old, rich, miserable, and lived in a dismal house up town,

I had heard of Miss Havisham up town,—everybody for miles round had heard of Miss Havisham up town,—as an immensely rich and grim lady who lived in a large and dismal house barricaded against robbers, and who led a life of seclusion.
