'Yer don't know who I am, I suppose, Work'us? said the charity-boy, in continuation: descending from the top of the post, meanwhile, with edifying gravity. 'No, sir, rejoined Oliver. 'I'm Mister Noah Claypole, said the charity-boy, 'and you're under me. Take down the shutters, yer idle young ruffian! With this, Mr.
James's. Yet for a little time, at the outset of his voyage, the Skipper had his superior; the Bashaw had a Vizier who was bigger than he. There was a Terrible Man called the Pilot. He cared no more for the Captain than the Archbishop of Canterbury cares for a Charity-Boy. He gave him a piece of his mind whenever he chose, and he would have his own Way, and had it.
If it be very moral and very true it may serve for a copy to a charity boy." So the very moral and the very true are not for the statesman but for the charity-boy. This perhaps may be defended as irony; hardly, but even so, in such irony the character appears as plainly as in volumes of solemn rant. To us it stands out clearly as the characteristic attitude of the English Government.
"Two cherries on one stalk," said Lumley, gayly: "by the by, it is not a complimentary simile. What young lady would be like a cherry? such an uninteresting, common, charity-boy sort of fruit. "How droll you are!" said Caroline, laughing.
'I beg your pardon, sir, said Oliver at length: seeing that no other visitor made his appearance; 'did you knock? 'I kicked, replied the charity-boy.

At this, the charity-boy looked monstrous fierce; and said that Oliver would want one before long, if he cut jokes with his superiors in that way.
"Well, glare-eyes! so you didn't like my remark?" Kenrick made no answer, and Mackworth continued "What charity-boy has left you his off-cast clothes? May I ask if your jacket was intended to serve also as a looking-glass? and is it the custom in your part of the country not to wear breeches below the knees?"
Noah stopped to make no reply, but started off at his fullest speed; and very much it astonished the people who were out walking, to see a charity-boy tearing through the streets pell-mell, with no cap on his head, and a clasp-knife at his eye. Noah Claypole ran along the streets at his swiftest pace, and paused not once for breath, until he reached the workhouse-gate.
The proud feeling of possession, softened into gratitude to heaven, and sorrow at his death, came over me, and I remained for a long while in a deep reverie. "And all this, and more, much more, are mine," I mentally exclaimed; "the sailor before the mast, the waterman on the river, the charity-boy, the orphan sits down in quiet possession of luxury and wealth.
Let him not peep or steal, or skulk up and down with the air of a charity-boy, a bastard, or an interloper, in the world which exists for him. But the man in the street, finding no worth in himself which corresponds to the force which built a tower or sculptured a marble god, feels poor when he looks on these.
It had something of the charity-boy about it still; but now it was a man's figure, laconic, charged with plebeian energy. She thought of the derisive passion in his voice as he had declaimed against the propertied classes, to her father. 'You don't know, Emmie. Perhaps he's not come for that, she rebuked her sister. They were both thinking of the money.
