Some thing in last weeks reading that i did not understand is when Pip is purchasing a partnership for Herbert with Wemmick in chapter 37: " "Well, you know Mr. Pip, I must tell you one thing. this is devilish good of you." " Say you'll help me to be good then," said I. "Ecod," replied Wemmick, shaking his head, " Thats not my trade." " Nor is this your trading-place," said I" ( 297)
I don't understand what they mean by 'trade' in this segment, and later in the book when the partnership is spoken of, It always nags at me in the back of my brain. I can't wrap my mind around it. What are they talking about and what does trade have to do with the partnership?
Anything will probably help, thanks and hope you didn't have the same problem.
