Young as I was, I believe that I dated a new admiration of Joe from that night. We were equals afterwards, as we had been before; but, afterwards at quiet times when I sat looking at Joe and thinking about him, I had a new sensation of feeling conscious that I was looking up to Joe in my heart.
– Charles Dickens
Great Expectations, Chapter 7. After Joe confides about his upbringing by a tough father and how he couldn’t go to school, Pip is filled with admiration for him. The young boy looks up to Joe no longer as a father figure but as a good friend.
