Chapter 11 starts of with Pip returning to Miss Haversham’s house/mansion and is met by Estella who guides Pip to a different section of the house and one which had never been before. Pip then stumbles upon guests at Miss Haversham’s party due to her birthday. The party guests act as if pip is not there, other then a few interactions with some guests. The guests and pip meet up with Miss Haversham, who is in her normal sour state. The guests seem most interested in Miss Haversham’s inheritance while she plays along with their “act”. After the interaction, Pip and Miss Haversham go on a walk, discussing her birthday and she then asks him and Estella to play cards.

Pip is left to wander around the estate, who is then met by a boy who is willing to fight pip for seemingly no reason. Pip then beats the boy in the fight almost effortlessly but commends him for his bravery. He then finds Estella waiting for him who gives him a kiss and it is implied that she arranged the fight. Pip then leaves and the chapter ends.
