noon
On the broad landing between Miss Havisham 's own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out , I saw a garden-chair , -- a light chair on wheels , that you pushed from behind . It had been placed there since my last visit , and I entered , that same day , on a regular occupation of pushing Miss Havisham in this chair -LRB- when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder -RRB- round her own room , and across the landing , and round the other room . Over and over and over again , we would make these journeys , and sometimes they would last as long as three hours at a stretch . I insensibly fall into a general mention of these journeys as numerous , because it was at once settled that I should return every alternate day at noon for these purposes , and because I am now going to sum up a period of at least eight or ten months . As we began to be more used to one another , Miss Havisham talked more to me , and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be ? I told her I was going to be apprenticed to Joe , I believed ; and I enlarged upon my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything , in the hope that she might offer some help towards that desirable end . But she did not ; on the contrary , she seemed to prefer my being ignorant .
