Of

course

I

know

that

,

my

dear

.

I

only

tried

to

frighten

you

.

You

're

a

brave

boy

.

Ha

!

ha

!

you

're

a

brave

boy

,

Oliver

.

'

The

Jew

rubbed

his

hands

with

a

chuckle

,

but

glanced

uneasily

at

the

box

,

notwithstanding

.

'

Did

you

see

any

of

these

pretty

things

,

my

dear

?

'

said

the

Jew

,

laying

his

hand

upon

it

after

a

short

pause

.

'

Yes

,

sir

,

'

replied

Oliver

.

'

Ah

!

'

said

the

Jew

,

turning

rather

pale

.

'

They

--

they

're

mine

,

Oliver

;

my

little

property

.

All

I

have

to

live

upon

,

in

my

old

age

.

The

folks

call

me

a

miser

,

my

dear

.

Only

a

miser

;

that

's

all

.

'

Oliver

thought

the

old

gentleman

must

be

a

decided

miser

to

live

in

such

a

dirty

place

,

with

so

many

watches

;

but

,

thinking

that

perhaps

his

fondness

for

the

Dodger

and

the

other

boys

,

cost

him

a

good

deal

of

money

,

he

only

cast

a

deferential

look

at

the

Jew

,

and

asked

if

he

might

get

up

.

'

Certainly

,

my

dear

,

certainly

,

'

replied

the

old

gentleman

.

'

Stay

.

There

's

a

pitcher

of

water

in

the

corner

by

the

door

.

Bring

it

here

;

and

I

'll

give

you

a

basin

to

wash

in

,

my

dear

.

'

Oliver

got

up

;

walked

across

the

room

;

and

stooped

for

an

instant

to

raise

the

pitcher

.

When

he

turned

his

head

,

the

box

was

gone

.

He

had

scarcely

washed

himself

,

and

made

everything

tidy

,

by

emptying

the

basin

out

of

the

window

,

agreeably

to

the

Jew

's

directions

,

when

the

Dodger

returned

:

accompanied

by

a

very

sprightly

young

friend

,

whom

Oliver

had

seen

smoking

on

the

previous

night

,

and

who

was

now

formally

introduced

to

him

as

Charley

Bates

.

The

four

sat

down

,

to

breakfast

,

on

the

coffee

,

and

some

hot

rolls

and

ham

which

the

Dodger

had

brought

home

in

the

crown

of

his

hat

.

'

Well

,

'

said

the

Jew

,

glancing

slyly

at

Oliver

,

and

addressing

himself

to

the

Dodger

,

'

I

hope

you

've

been

at

work

this

morning

,

my

dears

?

'

'

Hard

,

'

replied

the

Dodger

.
