The Alternate Ending

Installment 1.

   A quick start. More characters introduced throughout installments. I hope you like it ;)

      My paranoia of the future sneaking up on me drove myself to distance from Wemmick's castle as well as the Temple. I joined Magwitch and my dear companion Herbert on the pond. Magwitch had no problem settling in as it seemed. For a man on the run he seemed very content.
"My dear Clara is out, I must attend Old Barley", said Herbert. I had come to learn Old Barley to be the father of Clara. Very much a divergent man to the likes of Clara. The young woman was made to watch him on her own, dealing with his strong waters tendencies. She tried to separate Herbert from the darkness of her father, however Herbert made help whenever found possible.
"Such an ill man, truly vicious", continued Herbert.
I'd grown very fond of Clara. She had delicacy in every move she made. An innocence followed her, truly fit for that of Herbert. They would do well together I'm sure. their oblivious optimism and care was a comfort as well as a nagging nuisance. I had much to be antsy over despite the distance I made from home. Herbert and I wished to further move along plans for Magwitch. I had no intention of taking more money from him despite my large debt. My knot was how to pay him back, which was decidedly a case for a separate occasion. We knew the burning need to remove Magwitch from England. I was to consult Wemmick once more on the matter. A convenient opportunity as I was to have supper with Jaggers the day after tomorrow.

(Basically Pips going crazy. Herbert + Clara = 💓
We support Herbert here)
