Great Exp. Question

"Little Jane is the same. In her desire to be matrimonially established, you might suppose her to have passed her short existence in the perpetual contemplation of domestic bliss. Little Alick in a frock has already made arrangements for his union with a suitable young person at Kew. And, indeed, I think we are all engaged, except the baby."
Page 252

I really don't understand much about this quote at all. To my knowledge Jane and Alick are relations to Herbert , but I really don't know how or why this is supposed to fit in or add something to the book. I also don't really understand the reference to Kew. I have a feeling that is a town or a city but I'm not quite sure.
Please Help.
