A pile of closures

Pip tries to pay off his debt but somewhere in the process is overtaken with delirium and sickness. He wakes up days? weeks? later to Joe taking care of him. During this time he learns that Magwitch has died (before he was hung) and Havisham has died. As Pip recovers, Joe grows more distant. Havisham's estate is marked off for auction, piece by piece.  The greater part of her estate was left to Herbert's father, the one thing Pip feels good about, it was because he pleaded their goodness to her earlier. Orlick is jailed for crimes and harassment against Pumblechook. Pip finds a receipt that Joe has paid off his debts in full. Oh, and in his last visit with Magwitch in prison, Pip tells him of Estella, that he loves her, that she is the daughter that Magwitch never saw again.
