'We're in trouble，'said Toby． 'Fagin's going to hang-that's certain．'

泰晤士河岸边有个叫做罗瑟海斯的地区，这是伦敦最肮脏、治安最差的地区之一。河边的房子都没有主人，已破败不堪，近似废墟，但仍能用来据守顽抗。费金匪帮的三个成员就聚集在这里的一幢房子楼上的屋里。
“费金是什么时候被抓住的？”名叫托比的男人问道。
“今天下午两点钟。查理和我是钻烟囱逃走的，但诺厄被抓获了。蓓丝去看南希，看见尸体后，高声尖叫不止。人们将她送进了医院。”
“查理·贝茨怎么样了？”
“天黑后他会来这儿。现在太危险了。”
“我们遇到麻烦了，”托比说，“费金要被处绞刑，这是肯定的。”
“你该看到他被捉时的情况。”另一名强盗说。“警察带他从人群中穿过时，所有的人都冲向他，大叫大嚷，要打他。”
