    Pip first met Herbert at Miss Havisham's house in the garden, where they fought as Estella watched from the bushes where she was hiding. Herbert is Matthew Pocket's son, Matthew Pocket being Pip's tutor. Matthew Pocket is Miss Havisham's cousin, who has fallen out of her graces due to his expressing concerns about Arthur and his interest in the brewery.
