**Chapter 39 Outline**
The chapter begins on a dreary night. Pip is alone in his residence, when he hears footsteps outside of his room. He allows the man, who has not shown his features, into his place to stay. The man knows Pip, and begins to ask questions of how he has been. After a while of playing this man’s game of question and answer, he recognizes him. It is none other than Pip’s Convict. The convict explains how his life has been since his last meeting with Pip. Overwhelmed, Pip offers him a drink and tries to send him on his way. However, he does not leave. He reveals to Pip that he was the sponsor of Pip’s trip to London. He sent Jaggers to help him with this, so he could make a gentleman of Pip. Pip is in awe by this matter, and has no choice but to let his convict stay the night in Mr. Herbert Pocket’s room, who is out of town. Once the convict has fallen asleep, pistol by his side, Pip goes into look. He returns to his room where he falls asleep on the floor. He wakes at five in the morning to a dead fire, and a thick darkness outside. This chapter ends Pip’s second stage of Great Expectations
