'
Let
'em
alone
for
that
,
'
replied
the
undertaker
.
So
saying
,
he
smiled
,
approvingly
:
to
calm
the
rising
wrath
of
the
indignant
parish
officer
.
Mr
Bumble
lifted
off
his
cocked
hat
;
took
a
handkerchief
from
the
inside
of
the
crown
;
wiped
from
his
forehead
the
perspiration
which
his
rage
had
engendered
;
fixed
the
cocked
hat
on
again
;
and
,
turning
to
the
undertaker
,
said
in
a
calmer
voice
:
'
Well
;
what
about
the
boy
?
'
'
Oh
!
'
replied
the
undertaker
;
why
,
you
know
,
Mr.
Bumble
,
I
pay
a
good
deal
towards
the
poor
's
rates
.
'
'
Hem
!
'
said
Mr.
Bumble
.
'
Well
?
'
'
Well
,
'
replied
the
undertaker
,
'
I
was
thinking
that
if
I
pay
so
much
towards
'em
,
I
've
a
right
to
get
as
much
out
of
'em
as
I
can
,
Mr.
Bumble
;
and
so
--
I
think
I
'll
take
the
boy
myself
.
'
Mr.
Bumble
grasped
the
undertaker
by
the
arm
,
and
led
him
into
the
building
.
Mr.
Sowerberry
was
closeted
with
the
board
for
five
minutes
;
and
it
was
arranged
that
Oliver
should
go
to
him
that
evening
'
upon
liking
'
--
a
phrase
which
means
,
in
the
case
of
a
parish
apprentice
,
that
if
the
master
find
,
upon
a
short
trial
,
that
he
can
get
enough
work
out
of
a
boy
without
putting
too
much
food
into
him
,
he
shall
have
him
for
a
term
of
years
,
to
do
what
he
likes
with
.
When
little
Oliver
was
taken
before
'
the
gentlemen
'
that
evening
;
and
informed
that
he
was
to
go
,
that
night
,
as
general
house-lad
to
a
coffin-maker
's
;
and
that
if
he
complained
of
his
situation
,
or
ever
came
back
to
the
parish
again
,
he
would
be
sent
to
sea
,
there
to
be
drowned
,
or
knocked
on
the
head
,
as
the
case
might
be
,
he
evinced
so
little
emotion
,
that
they
by
common
consent
pronounced
him
a
hardened
young
rascal
,
and
orered
Mr.
Bumble
to
remove
him
forthwith
.
Now
,
although
it
was
very
natural
that
the
board
,
of
all
people
in
the
world
,
should
feel
in
a
great
state
of
virtuous
astonishment
and
horror
at
the
smallest
tokens
of
want
of
feeling
on
the
part
of
anybody
,
they
were
rather
out
,
in
this
particular
instance
.
The
simple
fact
was
,
that
Oliver
,
instead
of
possessing
too
little
feeling
,
possessed
rather
too
much
;
and
was
in
a
fair
way
of
being
reduced
,
for
life
,
to
a
state
of
brutal
stupidity
and
sullenness
by
the
ill
usage
he
had
received
.
He
heard
the
news
of
his
destination
,
in
perfect
silence
;
and
,
having
had
his
luggage
put
into
his
hand
--
which
was
not
very
difficult
to
carry
,
inasmuch
as
it
was
all
comprised
within
the
limits
of
a
brown
paper
parcel
,
about
half
a
foot
square
by
three
inches
deep
--
he
pulled
his
cap
over
his
eyes
;
and
once
more
attaching
himself
to
Mr.
Bumble
's
coat
cuff
,
was
led
away
by
that
dignitary
to
a
new
scene
of
suffering
.
