The moral drawn from it and there was this moral interpenetrating or impregnating the whole became appreciable, it might even have been by Sikes himself, from the first moment the ruffian realised that the crime had been actually accomplished. It spoke trumpet-tongued from the very instant when he recoiled from "it!"
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.
Her glance at parting showed that. But perhaps she would recoil from a plot to take the life of Sikes, and that was one of the chief ends to be attained. 'How, thought Fagin, as he crept homeward, 'can I increase my influence with her? What new power can I acquire? Such brains are fertile in expedients. 'I can, said Fagin, almost aloud. 'She durst not refuse me then.
'Stand upon one of the hall chairs. There are three there, Bill, with a jolly large blue unicorn and gold pitchfork on 'em: which is the old lady's arms. 'Keep quiet, can't you? replied Sikes, with a threatening look. 'The room-door is open, is it? 'Wide, replied Toby, after peeping in to satisfy himself.
Sikes on his return should be required to be confirmed and corroborated, in all important particulars, by the testimony of flash Toby Crackit.

'You're a nice one, added Sikes, as he surveyed her with a contemptuous air, 'to take up the humane and gen teel side! A pretty subject for the child, as you call him, to make a friend of!
It was lost upon Sikes, who was stooping at the moment to tie the boot-lace which the dog had torn.
