Summary: Chapter 53 After receiving a mysterious note, Pip makes his way to the Sluice house and lets himself in after hearing no answer. Shortly after he is attacked by a man who he discovers to be Dolge Orlick. Orlick reveals that he killed Mrs. Joe and threatens to take Pip’s life as well. Pip’s saviors (Herbert, Trabb’s son, and Startop) scare Orlick away and question Pip as to what happened. They decide to return to London that night while tending to Pip’s hurt arm.
