The Writer

" Charles Dickens "

☻Charles Dickens is an English novelist. He is

probably the most famous writer in England after

William Shakespeare. He is best known for his novels

about life in the nineteenth-century Britain. His works

were characterized by attacks on social evils like injustice

and hypocrisy. Dickens was born on 7 th

February, 1812

into a good family in Portsmouth, in the south of England.

☻ Dickens was the second of eight children of a family

which was deeply in debt. When he was still a young boy,

his father went to prison in 1824, because he had got into

debt. He went to London to earn money for the family. At

the age of twelve, he was working for ten hours a day in

a London factory. He saw how hard life was for poor

people and many of the ideas for the stories of his novels

and the characters in them came from this time.

1

☻Dickens came to know not only hunger and

privation, but the evils of child labour. He left school

to work in a factory after his father was thrown into

debtor's prison. Though he had little education, he

worked as a clerk and a newspaper reporter. While he

was working for the newspaper, he was also writing

magazine stories. Instead of using his real name, he called

himself Boz for these stories.

☻Dickens married Catherine

Hogarth in 1836. He wrote 15 novels

and hundreds of short stories. From

his masterworks, "David Copperfield"

(1850), "Bleak House" (1853), "Hard Catherine Hogarth

Times" (1854) , "A tale of Two Cities"

(1859), "Great Expectations" (1860)

and "Oliver Twist" (1838) which we

are going to study this year.

☻In 1858, Dickens went to America to

read his novels to people. In 1857,

Dickens hired professional actresses for Ellen Ternan

". Dickens "The Frozen Deep the play

fell deeply in love with one of the

actresses, Ellen Ternan. He separated

from his wife Catherine, in 1858. When

he decided to marry Ternan, she was

18. When Catherine left, never to see Kent her husband again, she took with her one child, leaving

the other children to be raised by her sister Georgina

who chose to stay at Gad's Hill. Dickens died in Kent

on June, 9, 1870 at the age of 58.

Oliver Twist

( Historical Background )

فٺٮيخ ربهيقيخ

☻In the mid-nineteenth century, England was

suffering from economic instability and widespread

unemployment. At this time, cities like London and

Manchester grew very quickly. Large numbers of

people came to the cities to look for work because they

had lost their jobs in the country. Men, women and

children worked very long hours in factories to earn

enough money to live.

☻During this time, England was at war

with France. The English government

had imposed heavy taxes to pay for the

war, and although these did not really

affect the wealthy classes, they were

a burden on the poor. Prices rose, food

became scarce, and the inflation rose.

☻Also because of the war, French and European markets

for English goods were closed, leading to unemployment

among workers. Workers were also unemployed because

the increasing use of machinery in manufacturing had

made many of their jobs outdated. In "Oliver Twist",

Dickens presented a portrait of the terrible childhood of

a considerable number of orphans who were underfed.

Oliver, one of the oppressed children, dared to ask the

master for more food and was severely punished.

Oliver Twist

( (Preface)ٽٲلٽخ

☻"Oliver Twist", published in 1838, is one of

Charles Dickens's best-known and well-loved works.

It was written after he had already attained success as

a novelist. It has been adapted as a film and has been

considered a classic ever since it was first published.

☻Dickens uses the characters and situations in the book

to make a pointed social commentary, attacking the

hypocrisy and flaws of institutions, including his society's

government.

☻Oliver is an orphan born in a workhouse, and Dickens

uses his situation to criticize public policy towards the

poor in 1830s England. Oliver is nine when the main

action of the novel occurs. Despite being treated with

cruelty and surrounded by rudeness, he is a pious,

innocent child, and his charms draw the attention of

several wealthy benefactors.

the only thing to prove who Oliver was.

(8) Monks ( Edward Leeford)

☻He was Fagin's friend. He was always looking

around nervously as if he thought people were chasing

him. He looked cruel. Indeed, Monks was Oliver's half-

brother. After his mother had died, a rich relative of his

family left his father a lot of money. After his father's

death, no will was found, so all the money became his.

Monks's mother married again and had a baby, Oliver

Twist. Monks made a deal with his friend Fagin to teach

Oliver to be a thief so he sent Jack Dawkins to bring

Oliver to Fagin. He wanted Oliver to miss the way to his

The story in brief

Chapters (1-4)

☻Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse in

England. His mother, whose name no one knew, was

found on the street and died just after Oliver's birth.

Oliver spent the first nine years of his life in a badly run

home for young orphans and then transferred to a work-

house for adults. After the other boys had chosen Oliver

to ask for more food at the end of a meal, Mr Bumble

offered five pounds to anyone who would take the boy

away from the workhouse. Oliver escaped and worked as

an apprentice to Mr Sowerberry, the coffin maker. His

other apprentice, Noah Clypole insulted Oliver's mother,

so Oliver attacked him and hit him hard. Being desperate

, Oliver ran away at dawn and travelled to London.

☻Outside London, Oliver, who was very hungry and

exhausted, met Jack Dawkins, a boy of his age. Jack

offered him a place to live and work. He took him

11

to Fagin, a criminal who trained homeless

children to pick pockets for him. After a few days of

training, Oliver was sent in a pick pocketing mission

with two other boys. When he saw them taking a handk-

erchief from an elderly gentleman, Oliver was horrified

and ran off. He was caught. He was set free when his

innocence was proved. Mr Brownlow, whose handkerchi-

ef was stolen took Oliver to his home and nursed him

back to health. Mr Brownlow was puzzled by Oliver's

resemblance to a painting of a young woman hung on the

wall in his house. Oliver was happy in Mr Brownlow's

house, but two of Fagin's gang, Bill Sikes and Nancy

stopped him and returned him to Fagin.

The Story Text

♣ It was late at night in a town in England during the Industrial

Revolution. At this time, most English towns needed people to

work in the factories that were beginning to open all over the

country. Many people came to the towns to find work, but they

were often so poor that they could not buy enough to eat and

they had nowhere to sleep. So they went to the workhouses

where at least they had a bed and some sort of food. In one such

workhouse, an old nurse and a doctor were working in a small,

dark room looking at a baby boy that had just been born. The

baby found it difficult to breathe. They did not know if he

18

would live. "What's the mother's name?" the doctor asked the nurse. "I don't know. She arrived at the

workhouse last night," said the nurse. "She was ill and weak

when she came." When the baby cried, the mother said weakly,

"Can I see my new baby?"

♣ The nurse picked up the tiny boy and the mother saw him for

the first time. She kissed him gently on the cheek and smiled.

Then the mother died. "Poor woman," said the nurse. "She was

so beautiful. We'll never know who she was." The baby was

called Oliver Twist. He was sent to live with other orphans in an

old house nearby. The orphans were all the children of parents

who had been destitute. A woman called Mrs Mann was given

a little money to look after the orphans, but she decided that she

needed some of this money for herself. For this reason, the boys

never had very much to eat.

♣ On his ninth birthday, Oliver was a small, weak child. He had

spent all his life in the old building with Mrs Mann, who was no

kinder to Oliver than she was to the other orphans. Oliver did

not go to school and he did not know the world outside. One

day, an important man called Mr Bumble visited Mrs Mann.

Mr Bumble was an official from the workhouse, where the

older children from poor families were big enough to work

for their food. "Now Oliver's nine, you don't need to look after

him." Mr Bumble told Mrs Mann. "He is old enough to work

for us in the workhouse." Oliver was not sad to leave Mrs

Mann, but he was sad to leave his friends and the only home he

had ever known. He felt wretched as the door to the house was

closed behind him. " Why are you crying ? You're very lucky

to work here," The managers of the workhouse told Oliver

when he arrived. "We'll give you food and a bed for nothing."

The workhouse was a large, cold building. Oliver was

introduced to the other boys who were all as thin and

19

weak as he was. They wore old clothes that were

too big for them. Oliver worked hard at the workhouse

with these boys and quickly realised that his life was not going

to become any easier.

♣ His bed was very uncomfortable and the food was never

enough. All they ate was a thin soup. The boys he worked with

were always hungry. After a few months, they were all so close

to starving that they made a plan. They decided they must have

more food, and they chose Oliver to ask for it. That evening in

the big, cold hall, the boys finished eating their usual thin soup.

Then Oliver stood up and walked to the master who gave them

their food. "Please, sir, I want some more," said Oliver. The

master was furious. No one had ever asked for more before !

"What did you say?" he cried. There was now silence in the big

room. "Please, sir, I want some more," Oliver repeated. The

master angrily took Oliver's arm and immediately led him to

the managers of the workhouse. He told them what Oliver had

said. "If he is not happy with our generosity," the managers

said, "he must leave." They decided to lock Oliver in a room

and put a message on the door of the workhouse. It said that the

workhouse would give five pounds, to anyone who could take

the boy away from them.

♣ For weeks, Oliver stayed in the cold, dark room. He cried

himself to sleep each night, then woke up each morning and

began to cry again. He had never felt so alone. He was only

taken from the room when it was time to eat. Mr Bumble did

not want any of the other boys to ask for more food, so while

they were eating, Mr Bumble made Oliver stand in front of

them. Then he beat Oliver. This happened every day until

a man called Mr Sowerberry read the message on the

workhouse gate. Mr Sowerberry, the coffin maker, decided

that he needed an apprentice and told Mr Bumble that

20

he could take Oliver Twist. A new chapter in the

boy's life was about to start. The next day, Mr Bumble

took Oliver from the workhouse and walked with him to Mr

Sowerberry's house. As they were walking down the street, Mr

Bumble was surprised to see that Oliver was crying. "Why are

you crying ?" Mr. Bumble shouted. " You should be happy to

have the opportunity to work with someone like Mr Sowerber-

ry." I'll be a good boy," said Oliver. "But" I have no ... '

"You have no what?" asked Mr Bumble. "I have no friends,"

said Oliver quietly. Mr Bumble was not interested in Oliver's

feelings. They continued to Mr Sowerberry's house, but when

Oliver's new employer saw him, he was not very happy. "He's

very small, Mr Bumble," Mr Sowerberry complained. "He is

small, but he'll grow," explained Mr Bumble. "But it will cost

money to feed him," said Mr Sowerberry's wife. She took

Oliver downstairs and gave him some old food that they had

not eaten. "Now get some sleep," said Mrs Sowerberry. "You

don't mind sleeping down in the shop, do you? There's nowhere

else to sleep in our house."

♣ Oliver was alone in a strange, dark room, surrounded by

unfinished coffins. It was not much better than the room he had

slept in at the workhouse. It was not easy for him to sleep. The

next morning, Oliver woke up to the sound of someone kicking

the shop door. Oliver opened it and saw a tall boy with a red

nose eating some bread. "Hello. I'm Noah Claypole," he said.

"You're from the workhouse, aren't you?" he continued,

walking into the shop as if he lived there. "I help Mr Sowerber-

ry. You do what I say, Workhouse Boy. Now open the shutters,"

he ordered, giving Oliver a small kick to make sure he knew

who was the master. Mrs Sowerberry called and asked Noah to

sit by the fire to have some breakfast. She gave Oliver a little

bread and told him to eat it down below. It was freezing cold

there. "Why can't I have a good breakfast like Noah?"

21

he asked, but there was no one there to hear him. For

the next few months, Oliver worked with Mr Sowerberry.

He did not like the work, but Mr Sowerberry seemed pleased

with him. This, however, did not please Noah Claypole, who

was told to work inside when Oliver went out with Mr

Sowerberry.

♣ One day, after work, the two boys were alone in the shop.

"What happened to your mother, Workhouse Boy?" said Noah.

Oliver said quietly, "The nurse said she died of a broken heart."

"I heard she died in the workhouse because she was no good at

anything," laughed Noah. "What did you say?" cried Oliver,

feeling both ashamed and angry. "I heard that if she hadn't

died, they would have punished her," Noah cried unkindly.

Oliver stood up and started to hit Noah hard. "Help!" shouted

Noah. "He's killing me!" Mr and Mrs Sowerberry ran in and

pulled Oliver away from Noah. "Help me lock him in here,"

they said to Noah. They pulled Oliver into a dark cellar and

locked the door. "You poor boy," Mrs Sowerberry said to

Noah. "We must get Mr Bumble at once."

♣ When Mr Bumble heard what had happened, he hurried to

Mr Sowerberry's house and knocked on the door to the cellar.

"Oliver, do you know who's speaking?" he called loudly. "Yes,"

said Oliver. "Aren't you afraid, Oliver?" he continued in

a menacing voice. "No!" Mr Bumble looked at Mr Sowerberry

in surprise. "I understand the problem," said Mr Bumble.

"You've given him too much meat, Mrs Sowerberry. You've

been too kind to him. Leave him in this cellar without food for

a few days, then feed him only soup," he advised. That night, in

the cold cellar, Oliver tried to cry himself to sleep yet again. But

he felt too angry to sleep. When the house was quiet, he went to

the door and realised it was not locked. He waited until it was

just light and quietly opened the door. No one was awake

22

and it was easy to leave the house without anyone realising. He

knew he could not stay in that place any longer. His life was

unbearable. It was time for him to run away.

****************************************************

The Story Text

♣ At first Oliver was careful to hide when he saw people in the

street, thinking they would want to take him back to Mr

Sowerberry, but he relaxed after a few hours. Surely no one was

following him now. He saw a sign which said " London, 70

miles." He did not know how long this would take to walk, but

he decided that London would be a good place for him to go.

Even Mr Bumble would not be able to find him in that great

city he had heard of where there would be so many

39

opportunities for him.

♣ He followed the signs to London for seven days, sleeping

in fields and eating very little. Although a few kind people gave

him food, he felt hungry and weak. Finally, he sat down to rest

in the street of a small village. Another poor boy of about his

age, who was wearing a man's coat and a tall hat, came and sat

next to him. "You look hungry. Where are you going?" said the

boy. '' I'm going to London," Oliver replied. " Have you got

a room there? Or any money? " Oliver said that he had almost

nothing. "Well, I know a man who will give you work and

a room for nothing," he said cheerfully. "My name's Jack

Dawkins," he continued, "although my friends call me the

Artful Dodger". Jack seemed to be kind. He bought

Oliver a meal and then said he could show him the way to

London, but only when it was dark.

♣ It was not too far to London, but it was not what Oliver had

expected. Jack took Oliver through streets that were poorer

and dirtier than he had ever seen, and he thought perhaps he

should run away again. Then they arrived in front of an old

house, and when Jack called out, a door opened and they went

inside. Jack led him to a large and dark back room with a fire

in one corner. Next to the fire, an ugly old man with red hair

was cooking something in a big pan. Four or five boys sat on

old beds around the fire.

"This is Oliver," said Jack. At once, the boys stood up and

began to take Oliver's few things from him. The old man

laughed. " I'm Fagin," he said. " Sit down and have some

food."

♣ Oliver sat by the fire and ate. Then, before he knew it, he fell

asleep. When he woke up, the room was quiet. He saw Fagin

sitting at a table taking some things out of a wooden box. He

looked carefully at a gold watch and some expensive

jewellery before putting them back in the box. He

40

then looked at Oliver. When he saw that Oliver was

awake, he jumped up and quickly closed the wooden box.

"What did you see?" he shouted, taking a knife in one hand.

"Nothing, sir," said Oliver nervously. "Can I get up now?"

"Yes, of course," said Fagin, putting the knife down again.

♣ Oliver relaxed and looked around the room. He thought the

old gentleman must be a miser to live in such an old place, with

so much jewellery and so many watches. He thought that

perhaps Fagin used all his money to look after the boys. At that

moment, Jack Dawkins arrived with a boy called Charley Bates.

"I hope you've been at work this morning, boys," Fagin said

when he saw them. "We've been working hard," said Jack.

"Good. What have you got?" Fagin asked Jack. Jack showed

him some notebooks and Fagin looked at them carefully.

"Thank you, sir," said Oliver. " They're well made, aren't

they?" Fagin said to Oliver. "Yes, very well made," answered

Oliver.

♣ Fagin and the boys found this very funny, although Oliver

did not know why. Then Charley showed Fagin some silk

handkerchiefs. "They're good ones," said Fagin. "But they

have marks on them. We can show Oliver how to take off the

marks." Charley laughed again and said, "The boy is so very

young!"· "Let's have breakfast, then you'll show Oliver our

little game," said Fagin.

♣ When they had eaten, Fagin put a watch in one of his pockets,

a notebook in another pocket and a wallet in another pocket.

Then he walked around the room, pretending to be looking in

shop windows. Oliver thought that this game was very funny.

Jack and Charley then walked very close to Fagin and without

Oliver realising it, they suddenly had the watch, the notebook

and the wallet in their hands. "Very good," said Fagin. "Now

you try, Oliver." Oliver walked behind Fagin and took

41

a handkerchief from his pocket. " Has it gone?" asked

Fagin. "Well done, I felt nothing," he cried. "You're a clever

boy. You'll be as successful as the Artful Dodger." Oliver

did not understand how taking handkerchiefs could make you

successful, but because the old man was kind and gave him

food, he did not question his advice.

♣ After a few days of practising the game, Fagin told Oliver

that he was ready to go out into the streets of London with

Charley and the Artful Dodger. A few hours later, Oliver

found himself in a strange London street with his two new

friends. The Artful Dodger pointed to a gentleman who was

reading a book outside a bookshop. "Look! He'll do," he said

to Charley. Oliver watched as the two boys walked quietly

behind the gentleman and carefully took a handkerchief from

his pocket. Oliver suddenly understood why Fagin had so many

watches and silk handkerchiefs and such a lot of jewellery. The

boys were thieves! Before he knew what was happening, the

gentleman turned round and called out, "Stop! Thief!" Oliver

started to run away, but now everyone in the street was

pointing at him and calling, "Stop him! He's a thief!" Suddenly

Oliver fell over and a crowd of people stood all around him. "Is

this the boy?" someone called. "Yes, that's him." Oliver saw

the gentleman looking down at him. "The poor boy is hurt,"

the man said. At that moment a policeman arrived and told

Oliver to stand up. "It wasn't me!" cried Oliver. "Oh, yes it

was," called the policeman, who led Oliver roughly down the

street. The crowd of people and the gentleman followed the

policeman down to the police station. "I don't think he did it,"

said the gentleman as Oliver was locked in a room. "Don't

worry, sir," said a police officer. "A magistrate will see him

soon. He'll decide." The gentleman, who was called Mr

Brownlow, was puzzled. Where had he seen the boy

42

before?"

♣ A little while later, Oliver was called to see the magistrate.

When the magistrate heard what had happened, it was quickly

decided that Oliver should go to prison. On hearing the news,

Oliver felt ill and fainted. He was carried out of the room. The

magistrate was going to send everyone home when the owner of

the bookshop suddenly appeared. "It wasn't that boy!" he said

to the magistrate. "It was two other boys. He was with them,

but he didn't take anything," he explained. "I saw the other

boys running away." "Why didn't you tell me this before?"

called the magistrate. "Let the boy go free and stop wasting

my time." As he left the building, Mr Brownlow saw Oliver

lying down on the street outside. "Poor boy," he said.

"Somebody call a coach. He must come home with me." Oliver

was carefully put inside a coach and taken to Mr Brownlow's

house, but he did not remember the journey. Oliver was very

ill. He slept for many days in a warm, comfortable bed in Mr

Brownlow’s large house in a good part of London. When he at

last woke up, he said, "What room is this?"

♣ An old lady quickly appeared and smiled at him, "You must

be quiet, or you'll be ill again. Lie down, there's a dear!" said

the woman, Mrs Bedwin, who looked after the house. So Oliver

stayed in bed, and it was several days before he was well enough

to go downstairs. He walked slowly into a beautiful room and

saw Mr Brownlow smiling at him. "You look a little better,"

said Mr Brownlow. Then he looked puzzled again. "But what is

this? Look there." He pointed to a painting of a pretty woman

on the wall above Oliver's head. Oliver was amazed. He could

see that the eyes, the head and the mouth were almost the same

as his own. After Oliver was taken by the policeman, Charley

and the Artful Dodger ran quickly back to the old house.

Fagin was so angry to hear what had happened to

43

of coffee at Charley. "Stop Oliver that he threw a cup

wasting good coffee," said a deep voice. Fagin looked round

and saw an angry looking man with big, strong shoulders.

"What are you doing, Fagin?" he shouted. "Sorry, Bill," said

Fagin, "but we have a problem." He explained to Mr Sikes, or

Bill, as Fagin called him, what had happened to Oliver. "Oliver

will probably tell the police where we are and what we do,"

explained Fagin. "We need to speak to him quickly," said Mr

Sikes. "The police don't know Nancy, so she can go and find out

what's happened," he suggested.

♣ Nancy was a young woman who worked for Mr Sikes. She

put on her best clothes and set off for the police station, but

when she got there, she was told that Oliver had gone. "A police

officer told me that he went somewhere in a coach with

a gentleman called Mr Brownlow," Nancy told Fagin when she

got back. When Fagin heard the news, he cried out, "We must

find out where he is before he tells anyone about us!" He then

gave Nancy and the Artful Dodger some money. "Go and find

Oliver. Don't stop until you find him, not even for

a minute."

The Story Text

♣ When Oliver woke up the next day, he found that the

painting of the woman on the wall had gone. "We took it down

because it seemed to worry you," said Mrs Bedwin. "But I liked

it," protested Oliver. "Get well, then, Oliver, and we can put it

back." A few days later, when Oliver was almost completely

better, Mr Brownlow bought him some new clothes. Then, one

day, he sat down with Oliver and asked the boy about his life.

Oliver started to tell Mr Brownlow about his time at the

workhouse but suddenly there was a knock at the door. An old

gentleman in a blue coat entered the room. "Oliver, this is my

friend Mr Grimwig," said Mr Brownlow. "Hello, is this the

boy you told me about?" said the man when he saw Oliver.

"Yes," said Mr Brownlow, and he began to tell Mr Grimwig all

about Oliver. He had not quite finished describing Oliver's

life when Mrs Bedwin came into the room with some books.

We need to pay for these new books, Mr Brownlow," she

62

said. "Send the boy to pay for them," said Mr Grimwig.

"Yes, do let me help you, sir," said Oliver. "Of course," said

Mr Brownlow. "Here's five pounds. Take the money to the

bookshop. I need one pound change. Some of the books need to

go back, too."

♣ Oliver was very pleased to help Mr Brownlow. He took the

money, put the books under his arm and then left. "Do you

really think he'll come back?" asked Mr Grimwig. "Of course,"

said Mr Brownlow. "Don't you?" "He has new clothes, some

books and five pounds. The boy will go straight to his friends the

thieves and never come back." "I'm sure he'll be back soon,"

said Mr Brownlow. But he looked worried.

♣ Oliver was enjoying his walk to the bookshop when suddenly,

a strange woman grabbed him by the arm. "There you are!" she

said. "I've found him!" "What are you stopping me for?'' asked

Oliver in surprise. "Let go of me." Some people in the street

began to look at them. "He's run away from home," the woman

explained to them. "I'm taking him back to his mother and

father." Then a man appeared who seemed to know the woman

and said, "Come with me, Oliver, you bad boy." Oliver was not

strong enough to run away, and he was led away by the man,

who was Mr Sikes, and the woman, who was Nancy. For half

an hour Oliver was led like this through busy streets until they

reached an old shop. Oliver was taken inside and there he saw

Fagin, Charley and the Artful Dodger. When the boys saw him,

they started laughing. Look at his clothes and books! " What

a gentleman!" laughed Charley. "We must give you different

clothes so those don't get dirty," said Fagin. "And I will have

this five pound note for our troubles," said Mr Sikes, taking

the money from Oliver's pocket. "You can have the books,

Fagin." "Please, take the books and money back to Mr

Brownlow, " said Oliver. "He has been so good

to me. He'll think I stole them!" You're right,

63

Oliver". " He will think you stole them!" laughed Fagin.

Oliver tried to escape, but Mr Sikes held on to him and

began to beat him with a stick. "Don't do that to the boy!"

cried Nancy. "He's already a thief like me. You've got his

money. Leave him alone or I'll call the police!"

♣ Mr Sikes looked surprised, but stopped hitting Oliver. "Take

his clothes and lock him in a room;" he said angrily. Oliver was

kept in the room until the middle of the next day, when Fagin

let him out. He told Oliver how kind he had been to him when

he arrived in London. He also told Oliver that, if he said

anything to the police, things would not be so good for him.

♣ A few days after Oliver had been taken back to Fagin's, Mr

Bumble was in London on the day that an advertisement came

out in a newspaper. It asked for any information people had

about a lost boy called Oliver Twist. Mr Bumble read this with

interest, then asked people how to find Mr Brownlow's house.

When he got there, he told him all he knew about the bad and

difficult boy that he knew so well. "I told you he was a bad one,"

said Mr Grimwig. "Sadly, you were right," said Mr Brownlow.

"I do not want to hear his name ever again." One day at

Fagin's, the Artful Dodger asked Oliver to clean his boots.

Oliver did not like doing these things, but at least he had people

to talk to. " Why don't you join our gang? " the Artful Dodger

asked Oliver. "Take things and you'll be rich. If you don't take

people's watches, someone else will."

♣ "I would prefer to go back to Mr Brownlow's," said Oliver.

Fagin won't like that," said Charley. "He has plans for."

you indeed, at the same time in another house in London, Fagin

was planning something for Oliver with Mr Sikes. And he was

going to do more than taking people's watches. "We need

a boy to help us to get inside a large house in the

countryside, " said Mr Sikes.

64

"Then use Oliver," said Fagin. "He'll be just right for

the job. Nancy can bring him to your house tonight." Oliver

did not expect to see Nancy when she arrived at Fagin's that

evening. "You must come with me to Mr Sikes's house," she

said. "What for?'' asked Oliver. "It is better that you don't

ask," said Nancy. She looked at Oliver and could see that he was

worried. "Look," she said, "I'm not happy about this either.

I've tried to help you, but it's no good. I'll try and help you

again, but this is not the time .Now, come with me." So, Oliver

had no choice and he followed Nancy to Mr Sikes's house. The

next morning, after breakfast, Mr Sikes took Oliver by the hand

and they set off into a cold, cloudy morning. They travelled all

day, sometimes walking and sometimes going by coach. It was

dark when they finally arrived at an old house somewhere in the

country. Mr Sikes did not knock, but opened the door and they

went inside. "Mr Sikes!" said a voice. Oliver looked up and saw

a man with long hair, who told him to sit by the fire. "Hello,

Toby Crackit," said Mr Sikes. "This is the boy who can help us

tonight." "Good. Now let's rest by the fire," said Toby. The fire

was warm and it had been a long day, so Oliver soon began to

fall sleep.

♣ At half past one in the morning, Mr Sikes woke Oliver up

from a deep sleep. Oliver watched as Mr Sikes and Toby each

picked up a gun, then they told him to go with them. They left

the warm fireside and went outside into a dark night. They then

walked for some time through the countryside. It was cold and

Oliver did not know where they were. Eventually, they stopped

by a high brick wall. "Climb up!" ordered Toby, and Oliver

followed him up onto the wall.

♣ From the top of the wall, Oliver could see a large house in

front of him and finally understood what they were going to

do. They were going to break into the house. "Please, no!

65

Don't ask me to do this!" Oliver cried.

"Be quiet. Do as I tell you or there'll be trouble," said Sikes

menacingly, and he pointed to his gun to make sure Oliver

understood what the trouble would be. Oliver followed the two

thieves across the gardens to a small window at the bottom of

the house. It was too small for any adult to climb through, but it

was not too small for a child. They easily broke it open and

there was now a small space for Oliver to get into the house.

"Take this light and go upstairs, then you can open the front

door for us," said Mr Sikes.

They pushed Oliver through the space in the window and Oliver

began to walk into the dark house. Suddenly, Oliver heard

someone inside the house shout something. Then there was

a loud bang. "Come back!" cried Mr Sikes, who took Oliver's

arm and pulled him back through the space in the window.

"What's happened?" Toby asked. "The boy's been shot!" said

Sikes. "Quick, run!"

The Story Text

♣ Toby Crackit and Mr Sikes ran all through the night

after the robbery. To make it harder for anyone who was

following them, they decided to run to different places. Mr Sikes

stayed in the country, but Toby Crackit went to London to find Fagin.

When Toby told Fagin that the robbery had not been successful, Fagin

was not at all happy. "But where's the boy ? " he asked. "After he was

shot, we carried him through some fields," said Toby, "but people were

chasing us. So we left him there, in a field." Fagin was very worried by

this news. He visited Mr Sikes's house, but Nancy had no news of Mr

Sikes or Oliver. When Fagin returned, a tall man was waiting for him

outside his house. He had dark hair and dark eyes and looked around

nervously, as if he thought people were chasing him. He looked cruel. "

Hello, Monks!" said Fagin. "Come inside." Fagin took the man to

a quiet room in his house and told him what had happened. "This was

not well planned," cried Monks. "Why didn't you keep the boy with

your gang ? " "Mr Sikes had a job for him," explained Fagin. "And you

should be happy I found him ! " " What if the boy's dead ? " asked

Monks. "The police will look for us ! "

♣ But Oliver was not dead, he had only been unconscious. He woke up

and found himself in the cold field where Mr Sikes and Toby Crackit

had left him. It was morning and it was raining hard. His arm hurt

badly and he was so weak that he found it difficult to stand up. Slowly

he walked towards the house he had visited the night before and after

some minutes, he knocked on the door. Two servants, Mr Brittles and

Mr Giles, were telling the cook about the robbery in the night and

how they had chased the thieves. They were surprised to hear

the knock and Mr Brittles opened the door nervously.

82

♣ When they saw Oliver, Brittles called, "Here's the thief ! "

and quickly took hold of Oliver's arm (luckily the arm that was not

injured. Mr Giles went to tell the lady of the house, Mrs Maylie, what

had happened. "We've got the thief that I shot!" Mr Giles said

proudly. " Is he hurt ? We must get a doctor at once," said Rose,

a pretty girl of seventeen who lived with Mrs Maylie. Carry him up to

your room, Mr Giles," said Mrs Maylie. A doctor, Dr Losberne, soon

arrived and said how surprised he was to hear about the robbery

before he went to see the patient.

♣ After about an hour, he returned to the two women who were waiting

patiently downstairs. "I think you should come and see the thief," said

the doctor. "You do not need to be afraid." The women went up to the

bedroom nervously. They thought they would see a big, strong man

and were very surprised to see a small sleeping boy with a bandage on

his arm. " How can such a young boy be a criminal ? " cried Rose.

"Evil can live in anybody," said the doctor sadly. "Be kind to him,

aunt, " said Rose. " He looks so helpless and small. If it hadn't been

for your generosity, I might be helpless like this small child ! "

" Let's wait until the boy can talk to us," said the doctor. " Then we

can decide what to do with him. "

♣ Oliver slept for most of that day, but later, the doctor suggested that

the women come up to his room. The boy was awake and wanted to talk

to them. They listened as Oliver told them all about his life.

When Dr Losberne heard Oliver's story, he realised that the poor boy

needed to be helped. But the servants knew the boy was a thief. What

could Dr Losberne say to the servants ?

"You shot the boy, didn't you?" he said to Mr Giles when he went

downstairs. "Yes, doctor. He isn't going to die, is he ? Will I go to

prison ? " said the servant, looking worried.

The doctor now had a plan. If Mr Giles was worried that the boy could

get him into trouble, the servant might not want to call the police. But

this first plan did not work because at that moment, Mr Brittles said,

"Here they are! It's the detectives from London. I called them this

morning." Two men with short hair and big boots walked into

the room. "My name is Detective Blathers," said one of them.

83

" Tell me about the robbery. I hear you have a boy here,

one of the thieves. ''" No, one of the servants made a mistake,"

said the doctor. " So where did the boy come from ? " asked

Detective Duff, the other detective. " Let's talk about the boy later, "

said the doctor quickly. " Come and look at the window where the

thieves entered. " The detectives went off to examine the house.

♣ " I want to help the boy, but I don't know what to say to the

detectives ! " the doctor said to Mrs Maylie. "Tell them the boy's story,"

said Mrs Maylie. "You believe him, don't you ? " " I believe him," said

the doctor, " but it would not stop a magistrate from sending him to

prison. He has run away from the place where he worked, then he

joined a gang of thieves and tried to break into a house! " " Oh dear !

Why did Mr Brittles send for these men? " cried Rose. "We must not

tell them Oliver's story," said the doctor.

♣ The detectives were good at their job. When they returned, Detective

Blathers said, "We think the criminals were from the city. Probably two

men and a boy." " We want to see the boy upstairs," said Detective

Duff. The doctor had no choice but to lead the men to the boy's room.

As they walked upstairs, he quickly thought of another plan. " This is

the boy who hurt his arm yesterday and came here for help this

morning," said Dr Losberne, introducing Oliver. " Mr Giles then took

hold of the poor boy. He thought it was one of the thieves." " You mean

it's not the same boy? " asked Detective Blathers, looking at Mr Giles. "

Did you shoot this boy or not ? " Mr Giles looked at Dr Losberne. He

knew the doctor's story was not true. Was the doctor protecting him

from the police because he had shot someone ? " Perhaps I made

a mistake," said Mr Giles. " If it's not the same boy, why are we here ?"

cried Detective Duff. The two detectives left that night, angry that they

had not caught the thief. They said they would return if they discovered

more information.

♣ Dr Losberne visited the family every day while Oliver was ill. After

some time, Oliver's arm began to get better, and he wanted to show

how thankful he was to these kind people who had helped him.

"Can I work for you?" he asked Rose one day. "Let me water your

flowers or do something to make you happy." "You don't need to

do anything," said Rose, smiling. "I'm lucky because I have

an aunt who has enough money to help people like you."

84

♣ " I am very happy to be here, " said Oliver. " Mr

Brownlow and his friends would love to know that I am safe

here. " Dr Losberne got to hear of Oliver's feelings, and when he was

completely better, he offered to take him by coach to Mr Brownlow's

house. Oliver was very excited. He was looking forward to seeing the

kind man who had helped him in London.

♣ He wanted to explain what had happened to his books and his money.

It was a long journey. When they finally reached the street where Mr

Brownlow lived, Dr Losberne looked at Oliver and asked, " What's the

matter ? You look white. Are you feeling ill ? " Oliver pointed to a sign

on the door of Mr Brownlow's house. It said "Sold." Dr Losberne got

out of the coach and asked a neighbour what had happened.

" Mr Brownlow has moved, " said the neighbour. "He went to the West

Indies six weeks ago. "

♣ At about the same time as Oliver was on his way back from London,

a woman was making a cup of tea to help keep herself warm. Her name

was Mrs Corney and she was in charge of the workhouse where Oliver

was born. There was a knock at the door and a poor woman came in.

"Excuse me, Miss. Nurse Sally does not have much time."

" What's that to me? " said Mrs Corney, " I can't keep her alive, can

I ? " " No, Miss, but she says she wants to tell you something

important. " Mrs Corney was not happy to leave her warm room to

visit the sick old woman in her cold room. She saw Nurse Sally lying in

bed and she realised she was very ill, so she went up to her bedside.

" I must tell you something, " said Nurse Sally quietly. " When I was

younger, I was a nurse to a woman who died here. "

" Yes, you helped many people here, " agreed Mrs Corney. " The

workhouse was the wrong place for her," Nurse Sally continued. " She

was rich enough for a good hospital. I stole from her before she died ! "

Mrs Corney began to look at the old nurse with interest. " What did

you steal ? " she asked. " This woman had a gold locket ! She asked

me to take the gold for the child, who was called Oliver. She asked me

to ... .….." " What did she ask you to do? " said Mrs Corney, moving

closer, but it was too late. The old nurse was dead.
