After
some
discussion
,
in
which
all
three
took
an
active
part
,
it
was
decided
that
Nancy
should
repair
to
the
Jew
's
next
evening
when
the
night
had
set
in
,
and
bring
Oliver
away
with
her
;
Fagin
craftily
observing
,
that
,
if
he
evinced
any
disinclination
to
the
task
,
he
would
be
more
willing
to
accompany
the
girl
who
had
so
recently
interfered
in
his
behalf
,
than
anybody
else
.
It
was
also
solemnly
arranged
that
poor
Oliver
should
,
for
the
purposes
of
the
contemplated
expedition
,
be
unreservedly
consigned
to
the
care
and
custody
of
Mr.
William
Sikes
;
and
further
,
that
the
said
Sikes
should
deal
with
him
as
he
thought
fit
;
and
should
not
be
held
responsible
by
the
Jew
for
any
mischance
or
evil
that
might
be
necessary
to
visit
him
:
it
being
understood
that
,
to
render
the
compact
in
this
respect
binding
,
any
representations
made
by
Mr.
Sikes
on
his
return
should
be
required
to
be
confirmed
and
corroborated
,
in
all
important
particulars
,
by
the
testimony
of
flash
Toby
Crackit
.
These
preliminaries
adjusted
,
Mr.
Sikes
proceeded
to
drink
brandy
at
a
furious
rate
,
and
to
flourish
the
crowbar
in
an
alarming
manner
;
yelling
forth
,
at
the
same
time
,
most
unmusical
snatches
of
song
,
mingled
with
wild
execrations
.
At
length
,
in
a
fit
of
professional
enthusiasm
,
he
insisted
upon
producing
his
box
of
housebreaking
tools
:
which
he
had
no
sooner
stumbled
in
with
,
and
opened
for
the
purpose
of
explaining
the
nature
and
properties
of
the
various
implements
it
contained
,
and
the
peculiar
beauties
of
their
construction
,
than
he
fell
over
the
box
upon
the
floor
,
and
went
to
sleep
where
he
fell
.
'
Good-night
,
Nancy
,
'
said
the
Jew
,
muffling
himself
up
as
before
.
'
Good-night
.
'
Their
eyes
met
,
and
the
Jew
scrutinised
her
,
narrowly
.
There
was
no
flinching
about
the
girl
.
She
was
as
true
and
earnest
in
the
matter
as
Toby
Crackit
himself
could
be
.
The
Jew
again
bade
her
good-night
,
and
,
bestowing
a
sly
kick
upon
the
prostrate
form
of
Mr.
Sikes
while
her
back
was
turned
,
groped
downstairs
.
'
Always
the
way
!
'
muttered
the
Jew
to
himself
as
he
turned
homeward
.
'
The
worst
of
these
women
is
,
that
a
very
little
thing
serves
to
call
up
some
long-forgotten
feeling
;
and
,
the
best
of
them
is
,
that
it
never
lasts
.
Ha
!
ha
!
The
man
against
the
child
,
for
a
bag
of
gold
!
'
Beguiling
the
time
with
these
pleasant
reflections
,
Mr.
Fagin
wended
his
way
,
through
mud
and
mire
,
to
his
gloomy
abode
:
where
the
Dodger
was
sitting
up
,
impatiently
awaiting
his
return
.
'
Is
Oliver
a-bed
?
I
want
to
speak
to
him
,
'
was
his
first
remark
as
they
descended
the
stairs
.
