Pip's age

This article claims that Pip is still 21 when Magwitch reveals himself. In fact, Pip mentions at the beginning of Chapter 39 that this happened one week after his 23rd birthday. I would edit and reference this myself, but I am not sure how to cite this correct source directly from the original text of Great Expectations.

That is fixed now. But this is a disappointing article for such a character. Many of the plot specifics were off, now corrected. But none of the vast number of books and journal articles about this character are included, just spark notes and a few blogs. Room for improvement by one with access to those books. --Prairieplant (talk) 07:10, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Yes, the plot summary is a bit hard to follow for one such as I, not having read the book in about 55 years.
