Great Expectations

"Poor dear Joe, entangled in a little black cloak tied in a large bow under his chin, was seated apart at the upper end of the room;where, as chief mourner, he ad evidently been stationed by Trabb. When I bent down and said to him, 'Dear Joe,how are you?' he said, 'Pip old chap, you know'd her when she were a fine figure of a-' and collapsed my hand and said no more." (280)

My question is, does Pip actually feel sorry for Joe, and is he in mourning about his sisters death? He seems to not really care or notice or produce any emotion? IN the rest of the story, he doesn't really seem that concerned. Especially when he forgets about his family and thinks only of his social life. He doesn't really seem very caring, and he seems almost as if he is glad that his sister is dead(and that it won't make a difference in his life) thanks :)
