As an adult, she fell in love with a man named Compeyson, who was only out to swindle her of her riches. Her cousin Matthew Pocket warned her to be careful, but she was too much in love to listen. At twenty minutes to nine on their wedding day, while she was dressing, Havisham received a letter from Compeyson and realized he had defrauded her and she had been left at the altar. Humiliated and heartbroken, from that day on, she remained alone in Satis House, her decaying mansion—never removing her wedding dress and wearing only one shoe, leaving the wedding cake uneaten on the table and allowing only a few people to see her.
Matt: WRONG
Record: 559-475
