I saw Miss Havisham put her hand to her heart and hold it there, as she sat looking by turns at Estella and at me.
– Charles Dickens
Great Expectations, Chapter 44. When Pip confesses his love for Estella, Miss Havisham clutches her hand to her heart. This suggests a softening in her attitude towards Pip, even pitying him and feeling remorse for her role in breaking his heart.
