stood upon a table by his side. His right hand was raised to his |

considerations which, following close upon each other with rapid |

to take the smallest heed of time, until his quick ear seemed to |

</div> |

be attracted by a footstep in the street. |

<div id="left-navigation"> |

<div id="p-namespaces" role="navigation" class="vectorTabs" aria-labelledby="p-namespaces-label"> |

'At last,' he muttered, wiping his dry and fevered mouth. 'At |

The bell rang gently as he spoke. He crept upstairs to the door, |

</div> |
|||
and presently returned accompanied by a man muffled to the chin, |
|||
<div id="p-variants" role="navigation" class="vectorMenu emptyPortlet" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label"> |

who carried a bundle under one arm. Sitting down and throwing |

<input type="checkbox" class="vectorMenuCheckbox" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" /> |

back his outer coat, the man displayed the burly frame of Sikes. |

<h3 id="p-variants-label"> |

'There!' he said, laying the bundle on the table. 'Take care of |

that, and do the most you can with it. It's been trouble enough |

<ul> |

</ul> |

Fagin laid his hand upon the bundle, and locking it in the |

</div> |

cupboard, sat down again without speaking. But he did not take |

</div> |

his eyes off the robber, for an instant, during this action; and |

</div> |

now that they sat over against each other, face to face, he |

<div id="right-navigation"> |

him with a look of real affright. |

</ul> |

</div> |

'Wot now?' cried Sikes. 'Wot do you look at a man so for?' |

in the air; but his passion was so great, that the power of |

speech was for the moment gone. |

</ul> |

'Damme!' said Sikes, feeling in his breast with a look of alarm. |

'He's gone mad. I must look to myself here.' |

'No, no,' rejoined Fagin, finding his voice. 'It's not--you're |

<label for="searchInput">Search</label> |

'I've got that to tell you, Bill,' said Fagin, drawing his chair |

nearer, 'will make you worse than me.' |

Sikes looked with an aspect of great perplexity into the Jew's |

face, and reading no satisfactory explanation of the riddle |

there, clenched his coat collar in his huge hand and shook him |

var _paq = _paq || []; |

_paq.push(["trackPageView"]); |
|||
Fagin looked hard at the robber; and, motioning him to be silent, |
|||
_paq.push(["enableLinkTracking"]); |
|||
stooped over the bed upon the floor, and shook the sleeper to |
|||
(function() { |
|||
rouse him. Sikes leant forward in his chair: looking on with |
|||
var u = "https://matomo.miraheze.org/"; |
|||
his hands upon his knees, as if wondering much what all this |
|||
var globalId = 1; |
|||
questioning and preparation was to end in. |
|||
_paq.push(["setTrackerUrl", u + "piwik.php"]); |
|||
_paq.push(['setDocumentTitle', "allthetropeswiki" + " - " + "Special:Badtitle"]); |
|||
'Bolter, Bolter! Poor lad!' said Fagin, looking up with an |
|||
_paq.push(["setSiteId", "2"]); |
|||
expression of devilish anticipation, and speaking slowly and with |
|||
_paq.push(["setCustomVariable", 1, "userType", "Anonymous", "visit"]); |
|||
marked emphasis. 'He's tired--tired with watching for her so |
|||
if ( globalId ) { |
|||
long,--watching for _her_, Bill.' |
|||
_paq.push(['addTracker', u + "piwik.php", globalId]); |
|||
} |
|||
'Wot d'ye mean?' asked Sikes, drawing back. |
|||
var d=document, g=d.createElement("script"), s=d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; g.type="text/javascript"; |
|||
g.defer=true; g.async=true; g.src=u+"piwik.js"; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s); |
|||
Fagin made no answer, but bending over the sleeper again, hauled |
|||

|||
him into a sitting posture. When his assumed name had been |
|||

|||
repeated several times, Noah rubbed his eyes, and, giving a heavy |
|||

|||
yawn, looked sleepily about him. |

'Tell me that again--once again, just for him to hear,' said the |

|||
Jew, pointing to Sikes as he spoke. |
|||
</body> |
|||
</html> |
|||
'Tell yer what?' asked the sleepy Noah, shaking himself pettishly. |
|||
'That about-- _Nancy_,' said Fagin, clutching Sikes by the wrist, as |
|||
if to prevent his leaving the house before he had heard enough. |
|||
'You followed her?' |
|||
'Yes.' |
|||
'To London Bridge?' |
|||
'Yes.' |
|||
'Where she met two people.' |
|||
'So she did.' |
|||
'A gentleman and a lady that she had gone to of her own accord |
|||
before, who asked her to give up all her pals, and Monks first, |
|||
which she did--and to describe him, which she did--and to tell |
|||
her what house it was that we meet at, and go to, which she |
|||
did--and where it could be best watched from, which she did--and |
|||
what time the people went there, which she did. She did all |
|||
this. She told it all every word without a threat, without a |
|||
murmur--she did--did she not?' cried Fagin, half mad with fury. |
|||
'All right,' replied Noah, scratching his head. 'That's just |
|||
what it was!' |
|||
'What did they say, about last Sunday?' |
|||
'About last Sunday!' replied Noah, considering. 'Why I told yer |
|||
that before.' |
|||
'Again. Tell it again!' cried Fagin, tightening his grasp on |
|||
Sikes, and brandishing his other hand aloft, as the foam flew |
|||
from his lips. |
|||
'They asked her,' said Noah, who, as he grew more wakeful, seemed |
|||
to have a dawning perception who Sikes was, 'they asked her why |
|||
she didn't come, last Sunday, as she promised. She said she |
|||
couldn't.' |
|||
'Why--why? Tell him that.' |
|||
'Because she was forcibly kept at home by Bill, the man she had |
|||
told them of before,' replied Noah. |
|||
'What more of him?' cried Fagin. 'What more of the man she had |
|||
told them of before? Tell him that, tell him that.' |
|||
'Why, that she couldn't very easily get out of doors unless he |
|||
knew where she was going to,' said Noah; 'and so the first time |
|||
she went to see the lady, she--ha! ha! ha! it made me laugh when |
|||
she said it, that it did--she gave him a drink of laudanum.' |
|||
'Hell's fire!' cried Sikes, breaking fiercely from the Jew. 'Let |
|||
me go!' |
|||
Flinging the old man from him, he rushed from the room, and |
|||
darted, wildly and furiously, up the stairs. |
|||
'Bill, Bill!' cried Fagin, following him hastily. 'A word. Only |
|||
a word.' |
|||
The word would not have been exchanged, but that the housebreaker |
|||
was unable to open the door: on which he was expending fruitless |
|||
oaths and violence, when the Jew came panting up. |
|||
'Let me out,' said Sikes. 'Don't speak to me; it's not safe. |
|||
Let me out, I say!' |
|||
'Hear me speak a word,' rejoined Fagin, laying his hand upon the |
|||
lock. 'You won't be--' |
|||
'Well,' replied the other. |
|||
'You won't be--too--violent, Bill?' |
|||
The day was breaking, and there was light enough for the men to |
|||
see each other's faces. They exchanged one brief glance; there |
|||
was a fire in the eyes of both, which could not be mistaken. |
|||
'I mean,' said Fagin, showing that he felt all disguise was now |
|||
useless, 'not too violent for safety. Be crafty, Bill, and not |
|||
too bold.' |
|||
Sikes made no reply; but, pulling open the door, of which Fagin |
|||
had turned the lock, dashed into the silent streets. |
|||
Without one pause, or moment's consideration; without once |
|||
turning his head to the right or left, or raising his eyes to the |
|||
sky, or lowering them to the ground, but looking straight before |
|||
him with savage resolution: his teeth so tightly compressed that |
|||
the strained jaw seemed starting through his skin; the robber |
|||
held on his headlong course, nor muttered a word, nor relaxed a |
|||
muscle, until he reached his own door. He opened it, softly, |
|||
with a key; strode lightly up the stairs; and entering his own |
|||
room, double-locked the door, and lifting a heavy table against |
|||
it, drew back the curtain of the bed. |
|||
The girl was lying, half-dressed, upon it. He had roused her |
|||
from her sleep, for she raised herself with a hurried and |
|||
startled look. |
|||
'Get up!' said the man. |
|||
'It is you, Bill!' said the girl, with an expression of pleasure |
|||
at his return. |
|||
'It is,' was the reply. 'Get up.' |
|||
There was a candle burning, but the man hastily drew it from the |
|||
candlestick, and hurled it under the grate. Seeing the faint |
|||
light of early day without, the girl rose to undraw the curtain. |
|||
'Let it be,' said Sikes, thrusting his hand before her. 'There's |
|||
enough light for wot I've got to do.' |
|||
'Bill,' said the girl, in the low voice of alarm, 'why do you |
|||
look like that at me!' |
|||
The robber sat regarding her, for a few seconds, with dilated |
|||
nostrils and heaving breast; and then, grasping her by the head |
|||
and throat, dragged her into the middle of the room, and looking |
|||
once towards the door, placed his heavy hand upon her mouth. |
|||
'Bill, Bill!' gasped the girl, wrestling with the strength of |
|||
mortal fear,--'I--I won't scream or cry--not once--hear me--speak |
|||
to me--tell me what I have done!' |
|||
'You know, you she devil!' returned the robber, suppressing his |
|||
breath. 'You were watched to-night; every word you said was |
|||
heard.' |
|||
'Then spare my life for the love of Heaven, as I spared yours,' |
|||
rejoined the girl, clinging to him. 'Bill, dear Bill, you cannot |
|||
have the heart to kill me. Oh! think of all I have given up, |
|||
only this one night, for you. You _shall_ have time to think, and |
|||
save yourself this crime; I will not loose my hold, you cannot |
|||
throw me off. Bill, Bill, for dear God's sake, for your own, for |
|||
mine, stop before you spill my blood! I have been true to you, |
|||
upon my guilty soul I have!' |
|||
The man struggled violently, to release his arms; but those of |
|||
the girl were clasped round his, and tear her as he would, he |
|||
could not tear them away. |
|||
'Bill,' cried the girl, striving to lay her head upon his breast, |
|||
'the gentleman and that dear lady, told me to-night of a home in |
|||
some foreign country where I could end my days in solitude and |
|||
peace. Let me see them again, and beg them, on my knees, to show |
|||
the same mercy and goodness to you; and let us both leave this |
|||
dreadful place, and far apart lead better lives, and forget how |
|||
we have lived, except in prayers, and never see each other more. |
|||
It is never too late to repent. They told me so--I feel it |
|||
now--but we must have time--a little, little time!' |
|||
The housebreaker freed one arm, and grasped his pistol. The |
|||
certainty of immediate detection if he fired, flashed across his |
|||
mind even in the midst of his fury; and he beat it twice with all |
|||
the force he could summon, upon the upturned face that almost |
|||
touched his own. |
|||
She staggered and fell: nearly blinded with the blood that |
|||
rained down from a deep gash in her forehead; but raising |
|||
herself, with difficulty, on her knees, drew from her bosom a |
|||
white handkerchief--Rose Maylie's own--and holding it up, in her |
|||
folded hands, as high towards Heaven as her feeble strength would |
|||
allow, breathed one prayer for mercy to her Maker. |
|||
It was a ghastly figure to look upon. The murderer staggering |
|||
backward to the wall, and shutting out the sight with his hand, |
|||
seized a heavy club and struck her down. |
