Warmint

Hello everyone!!

I'm reading 'Great Expectations', and I found the word 'warmint'. I was wondering if you could help me with its meaning. Does it mean 'varmint'? Help, please! :)

Yes, it means "varmint." Dickens often has his characters speak in dialect, and I've noticed that he often has his lower-class characters exchange "v's" and "w's" at the beginning of words.

It is my favourite Dickens book so far.

Thank you very much JonathanB for answering my question. :)

Hello kev67!

My favourite is 'A Tale of Two Cities,' but this book is fantastic, so far; I haven't finished it yet. :)
