Step-by-step explanation:

Pip's description of his sight through the window inform the reader of a wet morning. The presence of rain and a grey sky is usually a sad image. Pip's feelings are in accordance with the melancholy picture he has of the window panes. The idea of a goblin having been crying all night indicates as well a sentiment of unhappiness, after all the main character did not have the chance to meet his parents and his "prospects" and "expectations" are without a doubt uncertain and not favorable.
