"How do you justify that?" said Addie incredulously. "Because it would be a lie to say I was. It would be to produce a false impression. The conception of a Jew in the mind of the average Christian is a mixture of Fagin, Shylock, Rothschild and the caricatures of the American comic papers. I am certainly not like that, and I'm not going to tell a lie and say I am.
Claypole in the side, and they joined in a burst of laughter both long and loud. 'Well, that's all right! said Noah, when he had recovered himself, and Charlotte had returned. 'What time to-morrow shall we say? 'Will ten do? asked Fagin, adding, as Mr. Claypole nodded assent, 'What name shall I tell my good friend. 'Mr. Bolter, replied Noah, who had prepared himself for such emergency. 'Mr.
"What'll Fagin say?" inquired the Dodger, and the question sobered Master Bates at once, as both boys stood in great dread of the Jew. And their worst fears were realised. Fagin was livid with rage at the loss of his promising pupil, as well as fearful of the disclosures he might make.
'Suppose he did all this, what then? 'What then! replied Sikes; with a tremendous oath. 'If he was left alive till I came, I'd grind his skull under the iron heel of my boot into as many grains as there are hairs upon his head. 'What if I did it! cried Fagin almost in a yell. 'I, that knows so much, and could hang so many besides myself!
And therewithal the veteran may quaff his glass to the memory of another member of the Wallack family, and speak of James Wallack as Cassius, and Fagin, and the Man-in-the-Iron-Mask, and the King of the Commons, and may say, with truth, that a more winning embodiment of bluff manliness and humour was never known to our stage than the versatile actor who made himself foremost in those characters.
Fagin heard them coming and took his boots from the table, and sat up straight in his chair; the preacher pushed his back until half concealed behind the door; Grant never looked around. Jones came into view first, and behind him walked Claire, her cheeks flushed, her head held high. At the door she paused, refusing to enter, her eyes calmly surveying the occupants.
'She has found out some new friends, my dear, and I must know who they are, replied Fagin. 'I see, said Noah. 'Just to have the pleasure of knowing them, if they're respectable people, eh? Ha! ha! ha! I'm your man. 'I knew you would be, cried Fagin, elated by the success of his proposal. 'Of course, of course, replied Noah. 'Where is she? Where am I to wait for her? Where am I to go?

Possibly, if he had observed the brief interchange of signals, he might have thought that it boded no good to him. 'Is anybody here, Barney? inquired Fagin; speaking, now that that Sikes was looking on, without raising his eyes from the ground.
That will had been destroyed, together with all proofs of Oliver's parentage, so that Monks might have the entire property. Fearing discovery, Monks had bargained with Fagin to keep the child a thief or to kill him outright. This revelation of his crime in all its terrible details, told in clear cutting tones by Mr. Brownlow, while his eyes never left the man's face, overwhelmed the coward Monks.
George Barnes got Oliver Twist out, and began to read therein. Miss Nancy and Fanny again were summoned before this little company to frighten and delight them. I dare say even Fagin and Miss Nancy failed with the widow, so absorbed was she with the thoughts of the victory which she had just won.
