'Are They trying to murder you, Fagin
Iwould if I was the m. I'd have done it long ago. Now, give me some beer, anddon't poison it. '
It was said as a joke, but if the man had seen the evil look onFagin's face, he might have thought the warning was a necessary one.
Fagin produced some beer, and as the fight appeared to be over,everybody sat down. In the conversation that followed, Fagin told the newcomerthat O liver had been caught by the police. 'I'm afraid, Mr Sikes, 'he said,'the boy may say something which will get us into trouble. '
'Very likely, 'said Bill Sikes, smiling unkindly. 'You'vegotproblems, Fagin. '
'And I'm afraid,'added Fagin, ignoring Sikes' remark, 'that if we're in trouble, the n a lot ofother people will be in trouble too, if you understand me, my dear, '
“他们想杀了你吗，费金？如果我是他们，我也会的。我早就想干这事了。给我来点啤酒，别往里搁毒药。”
这好像是个玩笑，可假如那人看到了费金脸上邪恶的表情，他会认为这种警告是必要的。
费金拿出了一些啤酒，争斗好像平息了，大家又都坐了下来。费金跟刚才进来的人聊着天，说奥利弗被警察抓起来了。“赛克斯先生，”他说，“我怕这孩子会说些给我们带来麻烦的话。”
“很可能。”比尔·赛克斯不怀好意地笑着说，“你遇上麻烦了，费金。”
“我还怕，”费金并不在意赛克斯说的话，接着说，“假如我们遇到了麻烦，许多其他的人也会受到连累的，如果你能听懂我的话，亲爱的。”
