* 1999: Brainville: The Children's Crusade ( with Daevid Allen, Pip Pyle )

Magwitch terrifies Pip into stealing a pork pie for him by creating the image in the boy's imagination of a bogy man who may `` softly creep his way to him and tear him open '', `` imbruing his hands '' in him.

As Pip agonizes over the theft that his own hands have committed, his guilty conscience projects itself upon the wooden finger of a local signpost, transforming it into `` a phantom devoting me to the Hulks ''.

Through such details Dickens indicates at the outset that guilt is a part of the ironic bond between Pip and Magwitch which is so unpredictably to alter both their lives.

Dickens, for excellent psychological reasons, never fully reveals Magwitch's felonious past, but Pip, at the convict's climactic reappearance in London, shrinks from clasping a hand which he fears `` might be stained with blood ''.

Pip himself is to feel the terror of Orlick's `` murderous hand '' in his secret rendezvous at the sluicehouse on the marshes.

Orlick shakes his hand at Pip, bangs the table with his fist, draws his unclenched hand `` across his mouth as if his mouth watered '' for his victim, lets his hands hang `` loose and heavy at his sides '', and Pip observes him so intensely that he knows `` of the slightest action of his fingers ''.

It is the similarity between Estella's hands and Molly's ( `` The action of her fingers was like the action of knitting '' ) that provides Pip with a vital clue to the real identity of both and establishes a symbolic connection between the underworld of crime and the genteel cruelty of Satis House.

Pip's great expectations, his progress through illusion and disillusionment, turn, somewhat as they do for the naive hero of Dreiser's American Tragedy, upon the lure of genteel prosperity through unearned income -- what Wemmick calls `` portable property '' and what Jaggers reproaches Pip for letting `` slip through ( his ) fingers ''.

Pip imagines how Estella would look down upon Joe's hands, roughened by work in the smithy, and the deliberate contrast between her white hands and his blackened ones is made to symbolize the opposition of values between which Pip struggles -- idleness and work, artificiality and naturalness, gentility and commonness, coldness and affection -- in fact, between Satis House and the forge.

A variety of hand movements helps dramatize the moral climate of the fallen world Pip encounters beyond the forge.

) in effusive congratulation to Pip on his expectations.

We take leave of Pumblechook as he gloats over Pip's loss of fortune, extending his hand `` with a magnificently forgiving air '' and exhibiting `` the same fat five fingers '', one of which he identifies with `` the finger of Providence '' and shakes at Pip in a canting imputation of the latter's `` ingratitoode '' and his own generosity as Pip's `` earliest benefactor ''.

Pip first learns `` the stupendous power of money '' from the sycophantic tailor, Mr. Trabb, whose brutality to his boy helper exactly matches the financial resource of each new customer, and whose fawning hands touch `` the outside of each elbow '' and `` rub '' Pip out of the shop.

The respectability which money confers implies a different etiquette, and, upon taking up the life of a London gentleman, Pip must learn from Herbert Pocket that `` the spoon is not generally used over-hand, but under ''.
