"There, there! I know nothing of days of the week; I know nothing of weeks of the year. Come again after six days. You hear?" (Extraído de "Great Expectations", por Charles Dickens)
Nesse contexto, o que significa a palavra "There"?
Seria alguma expressão utilizada por eles?
Não é a primeira vez que vejo escrito em textos essa palavra... outro exemplo está no seguinte excerto:
"'I never,' she whispered. 'There!' She went quite softly to the kitchen, and was too preoccupied to ask Millie what she was messing about with now, when she got there" (Extraído de "The Invisible Man", por H. G. Wells)

Obrigada desde já!

"There! There!" is something like "Minha nossa!" or maybe "Coitadinho!" It is something said to calm down another person, to express mild surprise, etc.

Já vi também com o significado de "pronto, pronto", quando alguém quer acalmar, consolar outra pessoa.
"What people who are horrible at comforting people say in an attempt to make someone feel better. Often done while patting one's back.
Girl One: My Grandmother just died
Girl Two: There, there. *pat on the back*
Girl One: * Sarcastically* Great, that makes me feel so much better."
Urban Dictionary
