Kourtney is tired of waiting. She knows where her King and most of the Krew went... just not what happened to them. Eventually, she has no choice but to trade in her Kutlass blades for pickaxes and go digging. With a smile on her face, but absolute dread in her heart, she sets off into the Underground World. After all, someone like him doesn't stay gone for this long, unless the worst has happened... and the crocodilian skeletons she finds along the way aren't encouraging. But she has to keep going, no matter what: it's what he taught her.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ckmh6ddixmc2le4icui2epio/bafkreigjyfdjl3w2ifhp6ozf3inqoarq4ofdi3dku5ebabgl3au32n5q4a)
![From Wikipedia. "Revised Ending: Following comments by Edward Bulwer-Lytton that the ending was too sad, Dickens rewrote it before publication. The ending set aside by Dickens has Pip, who is still single, briefly see Estella in London; after becoming Bentley Drummle's widow, she has remarried.[39][45] It appealed to Dickens due to its originality: "[the] winding up will be away from all such things as they conventionally go".[39][46] Dickens revised the ending for publication so that Pip meets Estella in the ruins of Satis House; she is a widow, and he is single. His changes at the conclusion of the novel did not quite end either with the final weekly part or the first bound edition, because Dickens further changed the last sentence in the amended 1868 version from "I could see the shadow of no parting from her"[39] to "I saw no shadow of another parting from her".[47] As Pip uses litotes, "no shadow of another parting", it is ambiguous whether Pip and Estella marry or Pip remains single. Angus Calder, writing for an edition in the Penguin English Library, believed the less definite phrasing of the amended 1868 version perhaps hinted at a buried meaning: 'at this happy moment, I did not see the shadow of our subsequent parting looming over us.'[48]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ckmh6ddixmc2le4icui2epio/bafkreifyb2sceabvqye33wdpqxmjkiuirfr7rq4sjyqswftjqqylavetzq)
