«Чарльз Диккенс – Great Expectations»

A level 5 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Clare West.

Her face is like a death’s head; her dark eyes burn with bitterness and hate. By her side sits a proud and beautiful girl, and in front of her, trembling with fear in his thick country boots, stands young Pip.

Miss Havisham stares at Pip coldly, and murmurs to the girl at her side: ‘Break his heart, Estella. Break his heart!’
