This is how the Great Expectations  continues. I have attached the PDF file which is much easier to read. Please from now on, let us know which words , if any, you needed to look up in a dictionary in order to do the exercise. Thanks

Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as
the river wound, twenty miles of the sea. My first most vivid
and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to
have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening.
At such a time I found out for certain that this bleak place
overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip
Pirrip, late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above,
were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham,
Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were
also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond
the churchyard, intersected with dikes and mounds and gates,
with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that
the low leaden line beyond was the river; and that the distant
savage lair from which the wind was rushing was the sea; and
that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning
to cry, was Pip./0
“Hold your noise!” cried a terrible voice, as a man started up
from among the graves at the side of the church porch. “Keep
still, you little devil, or I’ll cut your throat!”/1
A fearful man, all in coarse gray, with a great iron on his leg.
A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag
tied round his head. A man who had been soaked in water, and
smothered in mud, and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and
stung by nettles, and torn by briars; who limped, and shivered,
and glared, and growled; and whose teeth chattered in his
head as he seized me by the chin./2
