I promised myself that I would do something one of these days, and formed a plan in outline for bestowing a dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, a pint of ale, and a gallon of condescension upon everybody in the village.
This is a promise made by Pip in Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations.” This is what he promises to bring back to the village after he’s gone off to be educated.
I hope the question was to identify the quote’s context and that this helps! :)
