</div> |

once fixed his teeth in one of the half-boots. Having given in a |

hearty shake, he retired, growling, under a form; just escaping |

<div id="mw-navigation"> |

the pewter measure which Mr. Sikes levelled at his head. |

<h2>Navigation menu</h2> |

<div id="mw-head"> |

'You would, would you?' said Sikes, seizing the poker in one |

</div> |

The dog no doubt heard; because Mr. Sikes spoke in the very |
|||
<div id="left-navigation"> |

harshest key of a very harsh voice; but, appearing to entertain |
|||
<div id="p-namespaces" role="navigation" class="vectorTabs" aria-labelledby="p-namespaces-label"> |
|||
some unaccountable objection to having his throat cut, he |

<h3 id="p-namespaces-label">Namespaces</h3> |

remained where he was, and growled more fiercely than before: at |

<ul> |

the same time grasping the end of the poker between his teeth, |

</div> |
|||
<div id="p-variants" role="navigation" class="vectorMenu emptyPortlet" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label"> |

This resistance only infuriated Mr. Sikes the more; who, dropping |
|||
<input type="checkbox" class="vectorMenuCheckbox" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" /> |
|||
on his knees, began to assail the animal most furiously. The dog |
|||
<h3 id="p-variants-label"> |

jumped from right to left, and from left to right; snapping, |
|||
<span>Variants</span> |

growling, and barking; the man thrust and swore, and struck and |

|||
blasphemed; and the struggle was reaching a most critical point |

<div class="menu"> |

for one or other; when, the door suddenly opening, the dog darted |

<ul> |

out: leaving Bill Sikes with the poker and the clasp-knife in |

his hands. |

</div> |

</div> |

There must always be two parties to a quarrel, says the old |

adage. Mr. Sikes, being disappointed of the dog's participation, |

<div id="right-navigation"> |

at once transferred his share in the quarrel to the new comer. |

Sikes, with a fierce gesture. |

'I didn't know, my dear, I didn't know,' replied Fagin, humbly; |

<ul> |

</ul> |

'Not a sound of it, as I'm a living man, Bill,' replied the Jew. |

</div> |

</div> |

'Oh no! You hear nothing, you don't,' retorted Sikes with a |

<div id="p-search" role="search"> |

expressive look; 'that's why.' |

'Nobody?' inquired Fagin, in a tone of surprise: which perhaps |

might mean that Barney was at liberty to tell the truth. |

'Nancy!' exclaimed Sikes. 'Where? Strike me blind, if I don't |

|||
Barney looked timidly at Fagin, as if for permission; the Jew |
|||
</body> |
|||
remaining silent, and not lifting his eyes from the ground, he |
|||
</html> |
|||
retired; and presently returned, ushering in Nancy; who was |
|||
decorated with the bonnet, apron, basket, and street-door key, |
|||
complete. |
|||
'You are on the scent, are you, Nancy?' inquired Sikes, |
|||
proffering the glass. |
|||
'Yes, I am, Bill,' replied the young lady, disposing of its |
|||
contents; 'and tired enough of it I am, too. The young brat's |
|||
been ill and confined to the crib; and--' |
|||
'Ah, Nancy, dear!' said Fagin, looking up. |
|||
Now, whether a peculiar contraction of the Jew's red eye-brows, |
|||
and a half closing of his deeply-set eyes, warned Miss Nancy that |
|||
she was disposed to be too communicative, is not a matter of much |
|||
importance. The fact is all we need care for here; and the fact |
|||
is, that she suddenly checked herself, and with several gracious |
|||
smiles upon Mr. Sikes, turned the conversation to other matters. |
|||
In about ten minutes' time, Mr. Fagin was seized with a fit of |
|||
coughing; upon which Nancy pulled her shawl over her shoulders, |
|||
and declared it was time to go. Mr. Sikes, finding that he was |
|||
walking a short part of her way himself, expressed his intention |
|||
of accompanying her; they went away together, followed, at a |
|||
little distant, by the dog, who slunk out of a back-yard as soon |
|||
as his master was out of sight. |
|||
The Jew thrust his head out of the room door when Sikes had left |
|||
it; looked after him as we walked up the dark passage; shook his |
|||
clenched fist; muttered a deep curse; and then, with a horrible |
|||
grin, reseated himself at the table; where he was soon deeply |
|||
absorbed in the interesting pages of the Hue-and-Cry. |
|||
Meanwhile, Oliver Twist, little dreaming that he was within so |
|||
very short a distance of the merry old gentleman, was on his way |
|||
to the book-stall. When he got into Clerkenwell, he accidently |
|||
turned down a by-street which was not exactly in his way; but not |
|||
discovering his mistake until he had got half-way down it, and |
|||
knowing it must lead in the right direction, he did not think it |
|||
worth while to turn back; and so marched on, as quickly as he |
|||
could, with the books under his arm. |
|||
He was walking along, thinking how happy and contented he ought |
|||
to feel; and how much he would give for only one look at poor |
|||
little Dick, who, starved and beaten, might be weeping bitterly |
|||
at that very moment; when he was startled by a young woman |
|||
screaming out very loud. 'Oh, my dear brother!' And he had |
|||
hardly looked up, to see what the matter was, when he was stopped |
|||
by having a pair of arms thrown tight round his neck. |
|||
'Don't,' cried Oliver, struggling. 'Let go of me. Who is it? |
|||
What are you stopping me for?' |
|||
The only reply to this, was a great number of loud lamentations |
|||
from the young woman who had embraced him; and who had a little |
|||
basket and a street-door key in her hand. |
|||
'Oh my gracious!' said the young woman, 'I have found him! Oh! |
|||
Oliver! Oliver! Oh you naughty boy, to make me suffer such |
|||
distress on your account! Come home, dear, come. Oh, I've found |
|||
him. Thank gracious goodness heavins, I've found him!' With |
|||
these incoherent exclamations, the young woman burst into another |
|||
fit of crying, and got so dreadfully hysterical, that a couple of |
|||
women who came up at the moment asked a butcher's boy with a |
|||
shiny head of hair anointed with suet, who was also looking on, |
|||
whether he didn't think he had better run for the doctor. To |
|||
which, the butcher's boy: who appeared of a lounging, not to say |
|||
indolent disposition: replied, that he thought not. |
|||
'Oh, no, no, never mind,' said the young woman, grasping Oliver's |
|||
hand; 'I'm better now. Come home directly, you cruel boy! |
|||
Come!' |
|||
'Oh, ma'am,' replied the young woman, 'he ran away, near a month |
|||
ago, from his parents, who are hard-working and respectable |
|||
people; and went and joined a set of thieves and bad characters; |
|||
and almost broke his mother's heart.' |
|||
'Young wretch!' said one woman. |
|||
'Go home, do, you little brute,' said the other. |
|||
'I am not,' replied Oliver, greatly alarmed. 'I don't know her. |
|||
I haven't any sister, or father and mother either. I'm an |
|||
orphan; I live at Pentonville.' |
|||
'Only hear him, how he braves it out!' cried the young woman. |
|||
'Why, it's Nancy!' exclaimed Oliver; who now saw her face for the |
|||
first time; and started back, in irrepressible astonishment. |
|||
'You see he knows me!' cried Nancy, appealing to the bystanders. |
|||
'He can't help himself. Make him come home, there's good people, |
|||
or he'll kill his dear mother and father, and break my heart!' |
|||
'What the devil's this?' said a man, bursting out of a beer-shop, |
|||
with a white dog at his heels; 'young Oliver! Come home to your |
|||
poor mother, you young dog! Come home directly.' |
|||
'I don't belong to them. I don't know them. Help! help!' cried |
|||
Oliver, struggling in the man's powerful grasp. |
|||
'Help!' repeated the man. 'Yes; I'll help you, you young rascal! |
|||
What books are these? You've been a stealing 'em, have you? |
|||
Give 'em here.' With these words, the man tore the volumes from |
|||
his grasp, and struck him on the head. |
|||
'That's right!' cried a looker-on, from a garret-window. 'That's |
|||
the only way of bringing him to his senses!' |
|||
'To be sure!' cried a sleepy-faced carpenter, casting an |
|||
approving look at the garret-window. |
|||
'It'll do him good!' said the two women. |
|||
'And he shall have it, too!' rejoined the man, administering |
|||
another blow, and seizing Oliver by the collar. 'Come on, you |
|||
young villain! Here, Bull's-eye, mind him, boy! Mind him!' |
|||
Weak with recent illness; stupified by the blows and the |
|||
suddenness of the attack; terrified by the fierce growling of the |
|||
dog, and the brutality of the man; overpowered by the conviction |
|||
of the bystanders that he really was the hardened little wretch |
|||
he was described to be; what could one poor child do! Darkness |
|||
had set in; it was a low neighborhood; no help was near; |
|||
resistance was useless. In another moment he was dragged into a |
|||
labyrinth of dark narrow courts, and was forced along them at a |
|||
pace which rendered the few cries he dared to give utterance to, |
|||
unintelligible. It was of little moment, indeed, whether they |
|||
were intelligible or no; for there was nobody to care for them, |
|||
had they been ever so plain. |
|||
<center>* * * * * * * * *</center> |
|||
The gas-lamps were lighted; Mrs. Bedwin was waiting anxiously at |
|||
the open door; the servant had run up the street twenty times to |
|||
see if there were any traces of Oliver; and still the two old |
|||
gentlemen sat, perseveringly, in the dark parlour, with the watch |
|||
between them. |
