Read the excerpt.
Pip is a young boy living with his sister and his brother-in-law
Joe, who is a blacksmith.
from Great Expectations
When I was old enough, I was to be apprenticed to Joe, and until I could assume that dignity I was not to be what Mrs. Joe called
"Pompeyed," or (as I render it) pampered. Therefore, I was not only odd-boy about the forge, but if any neighbour happened to want an extra boy
to frighten birds, or pick up stones, or do any such job, I was favoured with the employment. In order, however, that our superior position might not
be compromised thereby, a money-box was kept on the kitchen mantel-shelf, in to which it was publicly made known that all my earnings were
dropped. I have an impression that they were to be contributed eventually towards the liquidation of the National Debt, but I know I had no hope of
any personal participation in the treasure.
(from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens)
