What are the conditions upon which Pip will receive his "great expectations" in Chapter 18?

Mr. Jaggers was a lawyer from London, sent by Pip’s
benefactor to inform him and Joe on the offer made and the conditions of the said offer.
The lawyer first informed Joe of the offer to relieve Pip from his apprenticeship. Joe
was not to object to the offer, and he was further asked if he expected anything in
return for the cancellation of Pip’s apprenticeship. Joe did not object, and he did not
request anything in return.


The lawyer then turned to Pip
and sought to communicate the arrangement for Pip’s "Great
Expectations."

“Now, I return to this young fellow. And the
communication I have got to make is, that he has Great Expectations.” Mr.
Jaggers



The benefactor had
instructed Mr. Jaggers to remove Pip from the place where he presently stayed and
facilitate his training as a gentleman. However, the conditions from the benefactor for
this arrangement were that:


  • He continued to bear
    the name Pip.

  • The name of the benefactor remained a
    secret until such a time as the person decided to disclose
    it.

  • Pip was prohibited from making inquiries about or
    referring to the said benefactor.

Pip did not
object to any of the stipulated conditions, and so they proceeded to discuss the details
of the arrangement as authorized by his benefactor.
