The end is rather ambiguous. Pip can't be sure of Estella's life or heart, since all he really doesn't know her that well. As Pip walks through the old garden, he discovers Estella walking there as well. Pip knows that Estella is widowed, that Drummle died in a horse riding accident. Pip speaks wither for a moment and they walk away from the ruins of the past, into the future. I suppose it is foreshadowed that they might end up together.
