"I thought the windows... To Let To Let To Let glared at me from empty rooms...under the gravel" (171).
Charles Dickens is still describing the building in London as Pip enters his new world. As Pip looks around, everything he sees seems unemotional and empty. It appears that the word empty is not used as just a literal sense, but also as a sense of feeling. Charles Dickens introduces the new building to the reader as a foreign object to Pip. It is the complete opposite of what he is used to seeing and living in. Instead of having a loving family inside the building supporting him and listening to him, he is led into an "empty room" and everything is so dreary and cold.
