The other day I was looking at a list of donors for a local school’s
funding drive, and on one line by itself was this donor:
Magwitch.
I laughed with delight. I love finding literary jokes hidden
in the real world. Magwitch of course is the character in Great Expectations
who is a secret donor funding Pip’s education, although Pip believes it is Miss
Havisham (sorry for the plot spoiler, but the book is 200 years old!)
I wish I’d thought of it.
