“I tell you it was your doing – I tell you it was done through you…I come upon her from behind, as I come upon you to-night. I giv’ it her! I left her for dead, and if there had been a lime kiln as nigh her as there is nigh you, she shouldn’t have come to life again. But it warn’t Old Orlick as did it; it was you. You was favoured, and he was bullied and beat. Old Orlick bullied and beat, eh? Now you pays for it. You done it; now you pays for it.”
– Charles Dickens
Great Expectations, Chapter 53. Orlick has lured Pip to the marshes where he plans to murder him. Here he confesses to the brutal bludgeoning of Mrs. Joe, but blames it on Pip, because Pip was treated as the favorite one at Joe’s forge. Intensely jealous of Pip, Orlick’s hatred of him has grown to such a vengeful fury that he plans to kill him and dispose of his body in the nearby lime kiln to leave no trace of his crime.
