Great (Somewhat Expected) Line

I'm in the midst of Great Expectations and ran across what I feel is a fantastic passage.

Pip and Biddy are walking together back to their house when Orlick confronts them. Orlick says he'll "be jiggered" if he doesn't walk back with them. Pip thinks to himself the following:

"This penalty of being jiggered was a favorite supposititious case of his. He attached no definite meaning to the word that I am aware of, but used it, like his own pretended Christian name, to affront mankind, and convey an idea of something savagely damaging. When I was younger, I had a general belief that if he had jiggered me personally, he would have done it with a sharp and twisted hook."

Delving into the light, sardonic mind of Pip is one of the best parts about the book.
