The
mud
lay
thick
upon
the
stones
,
and
a
black
mist
hung
over
the
streets
;
the
rain
fell
sluggishly
down
,
and
everything
felt
cold
and
clammy
to
the
touch
.
It
seemed
just
the
night
when
it
befitted
such
a
being
as
the
Jew
to
be
abroad
.
As
he
glided
stealthily
along
,
creeping
beneath
the
shelter
of
the
walls
and
doorways
,
the
hideous
old
man
seemed
like
some
loathsome
reptile
,
engendered
in
the
slime
and
darkness
through
which
he
moved
:
crawling
forth
,
by
night
,
in
search
of
some
rich
offal
for
a
meal
.
He
kept
on
his
course
,
through
many
winding
and
narrow
ways
,
until
he
reached
Bethnal
Green
;
then
,
turning
suddenly
off
to
the
left
,
he
soon
became
involved
in
a
maze
of
the
mean
and
dirty
streets
which
abound
in
that
close
and
densely-populated
quarter
.
The
Jew
was
evidently
too
familiar
with
the
ground
he
traversed
to
be
at
all
bewildered
,
either
by
the
darkness
of
the
night
,
or
the
intricacies
of
the
way
.
He
hurried
through
several
alleys
and
streets
,
and
at
length
turned
into
one
,
lighted
only
by
a
single
lamp
at
the
farther
end
.
At
the
door
of
a
house
in
this
street
,
he
knocked
;
having
exchanged
a
few
muttered
words
with
the
person
who
opened
it
,
he
walked
upstairs
.

A
dog
growled
as
he
touched
the
handle
of
a
room-door
;
and
a
man
's
voice
demanded
who
was
there
.
'
Only
me
,
Bill
;
only
me
,
my
dear
,
'
said
the
Jew
looking
in
.
'
Bring
in
your
body
then
,
'
said
Sikes
.
'
Lie
down
,
you
stupid
brute
!
Do
n't
you
know
the
devil
when
he
's
got
a
great-coat
on
?
'
Apparently
,
the
dog
had
been
somewhat
deceived
by
Mr.
Fagin
's
outer
garment
;
for
as
the
Jew
unbuttoned
it
,
and
threw
it
over
the
back
of
a
chair
,
he
retired
to
the
corner
from
which
he
had
risen
:
wagging
his
tail
as
he
went
,
to
show
that
he
was
as
well
satisfied
as
it
was
in
his
nature
to
be
.

'
Well
!
'
said
Sikes
.
'
Well
,
my
dear
,
'
replied
the
Jew
.
--
'
Ah
!
Nancy
.
'
The
latter
recognition
was
uttered
with
just
enough
of
embarrassment
to
imply
a
doubt
of
its
reception
;
for
Mr.
Fagin
and
his
young
friend
had
not
met
,
since
she
had
interfered
in
behalf
of
Oliver
.
All
doubts
upon
the
subject
,
if
he
had
any
,
were
speedily
removed
by
the
young
lady
's
behaviour
.
She
took
her
feet
off
the
fender
,
pushed
back
her
chair
,
and
bade
Fagin
draw
up
his
,
without
saying
more
about
it
:
for
it
was
a
cold
night
,
and
no
mistake
.
