I've no no fault to find with you. 'Oh, you haven't, haven't you? said Sikes, looking sternly at him, and ostentatiously passing a pistol into a more convenient pocket. 'That's lucky for one of us. Which one that is, don't matter. 'I've got that to tell you, Bill, said Fagin, drawing his chair nearer, 'will make you worse than me. 'Aye? returned the robber with an incredulous air.
You can't take care of yourself, number one, without taking care of me, number one. 'Number two, you mean, said Mr. Bolter, who was largely endowed with the quality of selfishness. 'No, I don't! retorted Fagin. 'I'm of the same importance to you, as you are to yourself. 'I say, interrupted Mr.
'Tell away! Look sharp, or Nance will think I'm lost. 'Lost! cried Fagin. 'She has pretty well settled that, in her own mind, already. Sikes looked with an aspect of great perplexity into the Jew's face, and reading no satisfactory explanation of the riddle there, clenched his coat collar in his huge hand and shook him soundly.
Seated round the table were four or five boys, none older than the Dodger, smoking long clay pipes, and drinking spirits with the air of middle-aged men. These all crowded about their associate as he whispered a few words to the Jew; and then turned round and grinned at Oliver. So did the Jew himself, toasting-fork in hand. 'This is him, Fagin, said Jack Dawkins;'my friend Oliver Twist.
'Sikes is not, I suppose? inquired the Jew, with a disappointed countenance. 'Non istwentus, as the lawyers say, replied the little man, shaking his head, and looking amazingly sly. 'Have you got anything in my line to-night? 'Nothing to-night, said the Jew, turning away. 'Are you going up to the Cripples, Fagin? cried the little man, calling after him. 'Stop!
'That wouldn't quite fit, replied Fagin shaking his head. 'Then why don't you send this new cove? asked Master Bates, laying his hand on Noah's arm. 'Nobody knows him. 'Why, if he didn't mind observed Fagin. 'Mind! interposed Charley. 'What should he have to mind? 'Really nothing, my dear, said Fagin, turning to Mr. Bolter, 'really nothing.
Scarcely venturing to whisper, but substituting dumb show for words, Fagin, and the young Jew who had admitted them, pointed out the pane of glass to Noah, and signed to him to climb up and observe the person in the adjoining room. 'Is that the woman? he asked, scarcely above his breath. Fagin nodded yes. 'I can't see her face well, whispered Noah.
Fagin? inquired the man, as he followed him out to the landing. 'Won't you join us? They'll be delighted, every one of 'em. The Jew shook his head impatiently, and said in a whisper, 'Is he here? 'No, replied the man. 'And no news of Barney? inquired Fagin. 'None, replied the landlord of the Cripples; for it was he. 'He won't stir till it's all safe.
There must always be two parties to a quarrel, says the old adage. Mr. Sikes, being disappointed of the dog's participation, at once transferred his share in the quarrel to the new comer. 'What the devil do you come in between me and my dog for? said Sikes, with a fierce gesture. 'I didn't know, my dear, I didn't know, replied Fagin, humbly; for the Jew was the new comer.
Let me get back; that's a dear. With a sigh for every piece of money, Fagin told the amount into her hand. They parted without more conversation, merely interchanging a 'good-night. When the girl got into the open street, she sat down upon a doorstep; and seemed, for a few moments, wholly bewildered and unable to pursue her way.
