What arrrangements are made for Hebert's future?Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

As Pip matures in Stage III of Great
Expectations, he takes stock of his affairs.  Guiltily, as Pip sits by his
fire, he reflects that "there was no fire like the forge fire and the kitchen fire at
home."  Understanding now the true meaning of love, Pip is able to objectively consider
his influence upon others, such as Herbert:

Now, concerning the influence of my position on
others, I perceived it was not beneficial to anybody, and above all, that it was not
beneficial to Herbert. My lavish habits led his easy nature into expenses that he could
not afford, corrupted the simplicity of his life, and disturbed his peace with anxieties
and regrets.

Once Pip gets
his affairs in order, then, he vows to assist his good friend, who is also engaged to be
married.  In Chapter LII, Pip takes the check from Miss Havisham after he has asked for
her help in arranging a position for Herbert and hands it to Miss Skiffin's [Wemmick's
fiancee] brother, who in turn takes it to Clarriker's bank.  With the increase in
business, Clarriker informs Pip that he will be able to establish a small branch house
in the East of London; there, he assures Pip, Herbert can easily obtain a position as
branch manager.  As he returns home, Pip assesses his
actions:

It
was the only good thing I had done, and the only completed thing I had done, since I was
first apprised of my great
expectations.
