Great Expectations Question

When Pip comes home in chapter two, and Mrs. Joe is about to come in, Joe says, "She's a-coming! Get behind the door, old chap, and have the jack-towel betwixt you."
I have two questions: one, what is a jack-towel? And what does 'betwixt' mean (because it is used a few more times over the course of the novel so far)?

Body Paragraph:

Lady Bracknell cares for nothing more than her image as an aristocrat. While interrogating Jack to decide if he is good enough for her only daughter, she asked where he lives. In response to his answer, she says, “The unfashionable side. I thought there was something,” (Act I). She had seemed perfectly pleased with all of his answers until something that could affect his social status is mentioned. She is so concerned with keeping her family’s image intact, she is willing to risk her own daughter’s happiness. Not only does she look down on Jack for being on the “unfashionable side,” but also because his family origins are a mystery to him. After meeting Cecily, she asks Jack, “…is Miss Cardew connected with any of the larger railway stations in London? I merely desire information. Until yesterday I had no idea that there were any families or persons whose origin was a Terminus,” (Act III). Lady Bracknell feels the need to mock his less-than-certainty about his family’s history to makes a point about their difference in class because she is positive that her family has a high class history. In her mind, because Jack could have come from a very poor family as easily as a wealthy one, he is not worth her daughter’s time. Lady Bracknell yet again displays her prominent lack of respect for anyone who isn’t rich when she is speaking to Jack about Cecily. She is unsure whether or not she is good enough for her nephew, Algernon, until Jack tells her that Cecily has 130,000 pounds in funds to which she says, “A hundred and thirty thousand pounds! And in funds! Miss Cardew seems to me a most attractive young lady, now that I look at her,” (Act III). Cecily’s fortune makes her nearly a millionaire by today’s standards, which forces Lady Bracknell to bite her tongue and keep back her insults. She wouldn’t dare risk keeping Algernon from marrying into that amount of money. It shows just how much money means to her… and apparently it means everything. In her mind, who needs family, love, and happiness when you can have secure funds and power?

I didn't make many changes to my body paragraph, but I think I repeat a lot of words. Could you tell me if anything is too repetitive?
