Compeyson's coming

These few chapters were okay. There was more suspense than there was action, which is fine at some points, but this got to be too much. Chapter 47 was the most in my opinion. I thought it odd that Pip would go to the theater to relax. He never really expressed a large intrest in it as far as I'm concerned. I was also suprised that Wopsle recognized the convict from the marsh. I had actually forgotten that he had gone with Pip and Joe. Since Compeyson's appearence is likely to be in the next chapter, I expect a series of highly improbable coincidences. I have a bad feeling about Herbert as well. I feel his role has diminished and that Dickens is removing him from the story. I wonder what other farfetched relations Compeyson will have to Pip besides being the man who stood up Miss Havisham.
