As Estella was leading me along the dark passages, she stopped suddenly and put her face close to mine.
'Look at me, boy! Am I pretty?'
'Yes, I think you're very pretty.'
'Am I rude to you?'
'Not as much as last time.'
She hit my face as hard as she could.
'Now, you coarse little boy, what do you think of me?'
'I won't tell you.'
'Why don't you cry again, you fool?'
'Because I'll never cry for you again,' I said, which was a very false promise, because I was crying inside at the time, and only I know how much I cried for her later.
