=Pocahontas=, daughter of Powhatan, an Indian chief of Virginia, who
rescued Captain John Smith when her father was on the point of killing
him. She subsequently married John Rolfe, and was baptized under the
name of Rebecca (1595-1617).--_Old and New London_, ii. 481 (1876).

=Pocket= (_Mr. Matthew_), a real scholar, educated at Harrow, and an
honor-man at Cambridge, but, having married young, he had to take up the
calling of "grinder" and literary fag for a living. Mr. Pocket, when
annoyed, used to run his two hands into his hair, and seemed as if he
intended to lift himself by it. His house was a hopeless muddle, the
best meals and chief expense being in the kitchen. Pip was placed under
the charge of this gentleman.

_Mrs. Pocket_ (_Belinda_), daughter of a City knight, brought up to be
an ornamental nonentity, helpless, shiftless, and useless. She was the
mother of eight children, whom she allowed to "tumble up" as best they
could, under the charge of her maid, Flopson. Her husband, who was a
poor gentleman, found life a very uphill work.

_Herbert Pocket_, son of Mr. Matthew Pocket, and an insurer of ships. He
was a frank, easy young man, lithe and brisk, but not muscular. There
was nothing mean or secretive about him. He was wonderfully hopeful, but
had not the stuff to push his way into wealth. He was tall, slim, and
pale; had a languor which showed itself even in his briskness; was most
amiable, cheerful, and communicative. He called Pip "Handel," because
Pip had been a blacksmith, and Handel composed a piece of music entitled
_The Harmonious Blacksmith_. Pip helped him to a partnership in an
agency business.

_Sarah Pocket_, sister of Matthew Pocket, a little dry, brown,
corrugated old woman, with a small face that might have been made of
walnut-shell, and a large mouth, like a cat's without the whiskers
