for it seemed to have a boyish look

It was settled that I should stay there all the rest of the day, and return to the hotel at night, and to London to-morrow. When we had conversed for a while, Miss Havisham sent us two out to walk in the neglected garden: on our coming in by-and-by, she said, I should wheel her about a little as in times of yore. So, Estella and I went out into the garden by the gate through which I had strayed to my encounter with the pale young gentleman, now Herbert; I, trembling in spirit and worshipping the very hem of her dress; she, quite composed and most decidedly not worshipping the hem of mine. As we drew near to the place of encounter, she stopped and said: `I must have been a singular little creature to hide and see that fight that day: but I did, and I enjoyed it very much.' `You rewarded me very much.' `Did I?' she replied, in an incidental and forgetful way. `I remember I entertained a great objection to your adversary, because I took it ill that he should be brought here to pester me with his company.' `He and I are great friends now.' `Are you? I think I recollect though, that you read with his father?' `Yes.' I made the admission with reluctance, for it seemed to have a boyish look, and she already treated me more than enough like a boy. `Since your change of fortune and prospects, you have changed your companions,' said Estella. `Naturally,' said I. `And necessarily,' she added, in a haughty tone; `what was fit company for you once, would be quite unfit company for you now.' In my conscience, I doubt very much whether I had any lingering intention left, of going to see Joe; but if I had, this observation put it to flight. `You had no idea of your impending good fortune, in those times?' said Estella, with a slight wave of her hand, signifying in the fighting times. `Not the least.' The air of completeness and superiority with which she walked at my side, and the air of youthfulness and submission with which I walked at hers, made a contrast that I strongly felt. It would have rankled in me more than it did, if I had not regarded myself as eliciting it by being so set apart for her and assigned to her.
