   In the previous chapter, Pip decides that he will return home and propose to Biddy. When he arrives, however, he learns that Joe and Biddy were married earlier that same day. The news forces Pip to "lay [his] head down on the old deal table" in shock, but Pip confesses that his "first thought was one of great thankfulness that I had never breathed [of his plan] to Joe." Pip realizes that Joe and Biddy are in fact a perfect match, and expresses his regret over the money he owes Joe and the way he has treated him and Biddy. Pip leaves their meeting and will not see Joe and Biddy again for eleven years.
