The
gentleman
with
the
white
waistcoat
was
standing
at
the
gate
with
his
hands
behind
him
,
after
having
delivered
himself
of
some
profound
sentiments
in
the
board-room
.
Having
witnessed
the
little
dispute
between
Mr.
Gamfield
and
the
donkey
,
he
smiled
joyously
when
that
person
came
up
to
read
the
bill
,
for
he
saw
at
once
that
Mr.
Gamfield
was
exactly
the
sort
of
master
Oliver
Twist
wanted
.
Mr.
Gamfield
smiled
,
too
,
as
he
perused
the
document
;
for
five
pounds
was
just
the
sum
he
had
been
wishing
for
;
and
,
as
to
the
boy
with
which
it
was
encumbered
,
Mr.
Gamfield
,
knowing
what
the
dietary
of
the
workhouse
was
,
well
knew
he
would
be
a
nice
small
pattern
,
just
the
very
thing
for
register
stoves
.
So
,
he
spelt
the
bill
through
again
,
from
beginning
to
end
;
and
then
,
touching
his
fur
cap
in
token
of
humility
,
accosted
the
gentleman
in
the
white
waistcoat
.
'
This
here
boy
,
sir
,
wot
the
parish
wants
to
'
prentis
,
'
said
Mr.
Gamfield
.
'
Ay
,
my
man
,
'
said
the
gentleman
in
the
white
waistcoat
,
with
a
condescending
smile
.
'
What
of
him
?
'
'
If
the
parish
vould
like
him
to
learn
a
right
pleasant
trade
,
in
a
good
'
spectable
chimbley-sweepin
'
bisness
,
'
said
Mr.
Gamfield
,
'
I
wants
a
'
prentis
,
and
I
am
ready
to
take
him
.
'
'
Walk
in
,
'
said
the
gentleman
in
the
white
waistcoat
.
Mr.
Gamfield
having
lingered
behind
,
to
give
the
donkey
another
blow
on
the
head
,
and
another
wrench
of
the
jaw
,
as
a
caution
not
to
run
away
in
his
absence
,
followed
the
gentleman
with
the
white
waistcoat
into
the
room
where
Oliver
had
first
seen
him
.
'
It
's
a
nasty
trade
,
'
said
Mr.
Limbkins
,
when
Gamfield
had
again
stated
his
wish
.
'
Young
boys
have
been
smothered
in
chimneys
before
now
,
'
said
another
gentleman
.
'
That
's
acause
they
damped
the
straw
afore
they
lit
it
in
the
chimbley
to
make
'em
come
down
again
,
'
said
Gamfield
;
'
that
's
all
smoke
,
and
no
blaze
;
vereas
smoke
ai
n't
o
'
no
use
at
all
in
making
a
boy
come
down
,
for
it
only
sinds
him
to
sleep
,
and
that
's
wot
he
likes
.
Boys
is
wery
obstinit
,
and
wery
lazy
,
Gen
'
l'men
,
and
there
's
nothink
like
a
good
hot
blaze
to
make
'em
come
down
vith
a
run
.
It
's
humane
too
,
gen
'
l'men
,
acause
,
even
if
they
've
stuck
in
the
chimbley
,
roasting
their
feet
makes
'em
struggle
to
hextricate
theirselves
.
'
The
gentleman
in
the
white
waistcoat
appeared
very
much
amused
by
this
explanation
;
but
his
mirth
was
speedily
checked
by
a
look
from
Mr.
Limbkins
.
The
board
then
procedded
to
converse
among
themselves
for
a
few
minutes
,
but
in
so
low
a
tone
,
that
the
words
'
saving
of
expenditure
,
'
'
looked
well
in
the
accounts
,
'
'
have
a
printed
report
published
,
'
were
alone
audible
.
These
only
chanced
to
be
heard
,
indeed
,
or
account
of
their
being
very
frequently
repeated
with
great
emphasis
.
At
length
the
whispering
ceased
;
and
the
members
of
the
board
,
having
resumed
their
seats
and
their
solemnity
,
Mr.
Limbkins
said
:
