The Jew seemed much vexed by Oliver's not expressing any greater curiosity on the subject; but the truth is, that, although Oliver felt very anxious, he was too much confused by the earnest cunning of Fagin's looks, and his own speculations, to make any further inquiries just then. He had no other opportunity: for the Jew remained very surly and silent till night: when he prepared to go abroad.
As far from home, died the chief remaining members of his friend Fagin's gang. Mr. Brownlow adopted Oliver as his son.
Edward Carpenter would theoretically denounce Sunday clothes, and perhaps all clothes. I do not defend any of these advanced views, not even Fagin's. But I do ask what, between the lot of them, has become of the abstract entity called education. Salt, education plus vegetarianism; Fagin, education plus crime.
Not a word had been exchanged. He looked from one to another in silence. If an eye were furtively raised and met his, it was instantly averted.

His mug is a fortin' to him. 'There there's enough of that, interposed Sikes, impatiently; and stooping over his recumbant friend, he whispered a few words in his ear: at which Mr.
She had come flying up the stairs, frightened, desperate, so far as she knew, alone against Fagin's unscrupulous band. She had not returned to her father, or escaped by way of the hall.
