Chapter 5 is when the soldiers come and they go search for the convicts. As they finally capture them, Pip says, "...my convict looked around him for the first time, and saw me...I looked at him eagerly when he looked at me, and slightly moved my hands and shook my head" (Dickens, 34). It seems like Pip is feeling very afraid of the convicts even though they are now captured. He is still worried about the people finding out that he has given the convict food and wants to keep it secret. when the convict looks at him, Pip fears that he will be recognized and found out.
In chapter 6, Joe and Pip come home and tell the people about the incident with the convicts. Pip explains, "But i loved Joe, perhaps for no better reason in those early days than because the dear fellow let me love him, and as to him my inner self was not so easily composed" (Dickens, 37). In this moment, we get to see how much Pip actually cares about Joe and how guilty he feels to not tell him the entire truth. Pip doesn't even care about telling his own sister but feels guilty about it with Joe. This shows his trust and love for Joe which may help him in the future.
