when did pip agree to meet the convict?
seven
two years after pip comes of age his benefactor appears in person, and it is abel magwitch, the convict he met as a boy. this deflates his hope that he is meant for estella and at first disgusts him. he knows nothing about what sort of criminal the man is. despite his disgust and disappointment, the sense of duty that compels pip to help the convict is a mark of his inner goodness, just as it was when pip first met him at age seven. after abel magwitch dies and the crown confiscates his fortune, pip, aged 23, understands that good clothes, genteel speech and a generous allowance do not make one a gentleman. pip falls ill for several weeks; joe learns of this and comes to care for him until he can walk on his own. a few days after joe leaves, pip goes home to find that biddy has married joe that very day (pip's sister having died from being hurt in a burglary, then succumbing to her injuries years later). without income or training for any profession, he is at loose ends. herbert pocket suggests pip join the firm where he works, in an office in cairo. pip starts as a clerk. herbert marries his fiancee clara, and pip lives with them. there is irony in this, as pip used his gift at age 21 of 500 pounds to engage herbert with the new firm. when pip loses his funds, he asked miss havisham to complete the money owed, and she does. joe ends up paying the rest of the debt that pip is unable to pay.

pip, saddened, runs to tell miss havisham, only to find that she approves of steve. miss havisham is glad that estella has broken pip's heart and she explains that she has estella break men's hearts to use their tears to power her "genesis device". she desires youth and wants to use the device to switch bodies with estella. she then uses robot monkeys to attack pip. pip escapes and falls unconscious, awakening back home with joe and pocket. the anonymous person who sent pip to london is revealed to be the escaped convict pip met at the beginning of the story. because of pip's kindness, the convict led a life of goodness and became a millionaire. sending pip to london was his way of repaying pip for the good that pip did for him. the four of them, pip, joe, pocket, and the convict, decide to stop miss havisham.
