The Dodger and Charley Bates had left the crowd which was chasing Oliver as soon as They could. They went back to their house through the narrowstreets, using a complicated route in case anyone was following the m. OnceThey were safely away from other people, Charley Bates rolled on the ground andlaughed and laughed.
'Ha! Ha! Ha! When I saw O liver running away so fast, round all thecorners, bumping into walls… and all the time I had the hand kerchief in my pocket… Ha! Ha! Ha!'
'But what'll Fagin say 'asked the Dodger.
'What do you mean '
The Dodger said nothing more but led Charley Bates into the houseand up the stairs. When Fagin saw the m enter, he rose to his feet.
'Where's O liver 'he asked the m furiously.
The two boyslooked uneasily at each other, but said nothing. Fagin took hold of theDodger's collar and shook him violently. 'Tell me or I'll kill you! '
神偷和查理·贝茨两人尽快地离开了追赶奥利弗的人群,他们是走在一条很窄的街道上回到他们的房子去的,采用了非常复杂的路线,以免被人跟踪。一等到安全地远离人群了,查理·贝茨就倒在地上打着滚笑个没完没了。
“哈!哈!哈!我看见奥利弗跑得那么快,绕过那么多街角,撞在了墙上……这手帕却一直在我兜里……哈!哈!哈!”
“可是费金会怎么说呢?”神偷问。
“你这是什么意思?”
神偷没再说什么,领着查理·贝茨进了屋,上了楼。费金见他们回来了,就站了起来。
“奥利弗呢?”他勃然大怒地问。
两个孩子不安地互相看着,什么也不说。费金抓住神偷的衣领拼命地摇晃着他。“告诉我,不然的话我会杀了你的!”
