One of these was Toby Crackit, another Mr. Chitling, and the third a robber of fifty years, whose nose had been almost beaten in, in some old scuffle, and whose face bore a frightful scar which might probably be traced to the same occasion. This man was a returned transport, and his name was Kags. 'I wish, said Toby turning to Mr.
Chitling, with a very long face, as he drew half-a-crown from his waistcoat-pocket. 'I never see such a feller as you, Jack; you win everything. Even when we've good cards, Charley and I can't make nothing of 'em.
Chitling, 'that you had picked out some other crib when the two old ones got too warm, and had not come here, my fine feller. 'Why didn't you, blunder-head! said Kags. 'Well, I thought you'd have been a little more glad to see me than this, replied Mr. Chitling, with a melancholy air.
Either the master or the manner of this remark, which was made very ruefully, delighted Charley Bates so much, that his consequent shout of laughter roused the Jew from his reverie, and induced him to inquire what was the matter. 'Matter, Fagin! cried Charley. 'I wish you had watched the play. Tommy Chitling hasn't won a point; and I went partners with him against the Artfull and dumb.
There was a short silence, after which Toby Crackit, seeming to abandon as hopeless any further effort to maintain his usual devil-may-care swagger, turned to Chitling and said, 'When was Fagin took then? 'Just at dinner-time two o'clock this afternoon.
Chitling added, with strong marks of irritation, that the new way of fumigating clothes up yonder was infernal unconstitutional, for it burnt holes in them, and there was no remedy against the County. The same remark he considered to apply to the regulation mode of cutting the hair: which he held to be decidedly unlawful. Mr.
Chitling wound up his observations by stating that he had not touched a drop of anything for forty-two moral long hard-working days; and that he 'wished he might be busted if he warn't as dry as a lime-basket. 'Where do you think the gentleman has come from, Oliver? inquired the Jew, with a grin, as the other boys put a bottle of spirits on the table. 'I I don't know, sir, replied Oliver.
'Betsy's a fine girl. Stick up to her, Tom. Stick up to her. 'What I mean to say, Fagin, replied Mr. Chitling, very red in the face, 'is, that that isn't anything to anybody here. 'No more it is, replied the Jew; 'Charley will talk. Don't mind him, my dear; don't mind him. Betsy's a fine girl. Do as she bids you, Tom, and you will make your fortune. 'So I do do as she bids me, replied Mr.
'Ay, ay! said the Jew, with a grin, which sufficiently demonstrated that he was at no loss to understand the reason. 'Try 'em again, Tom; try 'em again. 'No more of it for me, thank 'ee, Fagin, replied Mr. Chitling; 'I've had enough. That 'ere Dodger has such a run of luck that there's no standing again' him.
'He hung about, not to come over here afore dark, but he'll be here soon, replied Chitling. 'There's nowhere else to go to now, for the people at the Cripples are all in custody, and the bar of the ken I went up there and see it with my own eyes is filled with traps. 'This is a smash, observed Toby, biting his lips. 'There's more than one will go with this.
