'
You
're
a
clever
boy
,
my
dear
,
'
said
the
playful
old
gentleman
,
patting
Oliver
on
the
head
approvingly
.
'
I
never
saw
a
sharper
lad
.
Here
's
a
shilling
for
you
.
If
you
go
on
,
in
this
way
,
you
'll
be
the
greatest
man
of
the
time
.
And
now
come
here
,
and
I
'll
show
you
how
to
take
the
marks
out
of
the
handkerchiefs
.
'
572
Oliver
wondered
what
picking
the
old
gentleman
's
pocket
in
play
,
had
to
do
with
his
chances
of
being
a
great
man
.
But
,
thinking
that
the
Jew
,
being
so
much
his
senior
,
must
know
best
,
he
followed
him
quietly
to
the
table
,
and
was
soon
deeply
involved
in
his
new
study
.
573
For
many
days
,
Oliver
remained
in
the
Jew
's
room
,
picking
the
marks
out
of
the
pocket-handkerchief
,
(
of
which
a
great
number
were
brought
home
,
)
and
sometimes
taking
part
in
the
game
already
described
:
which
the
two
boys
and
the
Jew
played
,
regularly
,
every
morning
.
At
length
,
he
began
to
languish
for
fresh
air
,
and
took
many
occasions
of
earnestly
entreating
the
old
gentleman
to
allow
him
to
go
out
to
work
with
his
two
companions
.

Oliver
was
rendered
the
more
anxious
to
be
actively
employed
,
by
what
he
had
seen
of
the
stern
morality
of
the
old
gentleman
's
character
.
Whenever
the
Dodger
or
Charley
Bates
came
home
at
night
,
empty-handed
,
he
would
expatiate
with
great
vehemence
on
the
misery
of
idle
and
lazy
habits
;
and
would
enforce
upon
them
the
necessity
of
an
active
life
,
by
sending
them
supperless
to
bed
.
On
one
occasion
,
indeed
,
he
even
went
so
far
as
to
knock
them
both
down
a
flight
of
stairs
;
but
this
was
carrying
out
his
virtuous
precepts
to
an
unusual
extent
.
575
At
length
,
one
morning
,
Oliver
obtained
the
permission
he
had
so
eagerly
sought
.
There
had
been
no
handkerchiefs
to
work
upon
,
for
two
or
three
days
,
and
the
dinners
had
been
rather
meagre
.
Perhaps
these
were
reasons
for
the
old
gentleman
's
giving
his
assent
;
but
,
whether
they
were
or
no
,
he
told
Oliver
he
might
go
,
and
placed
him
under
the
joint
guardianship
of
Charley
Bates
,
and
his
friend
the
Dodger
.
576
The
three
boys
sallied
out
;
the
Dodger
with
his
coat-sleeves
tucked
up
,
and
his
hat
cocked
,
as
usual
;
Master
Bates
sauntering
along
with
his
hands
in
his
pockets
;
and
Oliver
between
them
,
wondering
where
they
were
going
,
and
what
branch
of
manufacture
he
would
be
instructed
in
,
first
.
577
The
pace
at
which
they
went
,
was
such
a
very
lazy
,
ill-looking
saunter
,
that
Oliver
soon
began
to
think
his
companions
were
going
to
deceive
the
old
gentleman
,
by
not
going
to
work
at
all
.

The
Dodger
had
a
vicious
propensity
,
too
,
of
pulling
the
caps
from
the
heads
of
small
boys
and
tossing
them
down
areas
;
while
Charley
Bates
exhibited
some
very
loose
notions
concerning
the
rights
of
property
,
by
pilfering
divers
apples
and
onions
from
the
stalls
at
the
kennel
sides
,
and
thrusting
them
into
pockets
which
were
so
surprisingly
capacious
,
that
they
seemed
to
undermine
his
whole
suit
of
clothes
in
every
direction
.
These
things
looked
so
bad
,
that
Oliver
was
on
the
point
of
declaring
his
intention
of
seeking
his
way
back
,
in
the
best
way
he
could
;
when
his
thoughts
were
suddenly
directed
into
another
channel
,
by
a
very
mysterious
change
of
behaviour
on
the
part
of
the
Dodger
.
579
They
were
just
emerging
from
a
narrow
court
not
far
from
the
open
square
in
Clerkenwell
,
which
is
yet
called
,
by
some
strange
perversion
of
terms
,
'
The
Green
'
:
when
the
Dodger
made
a
sudden
stop
;
and
,
laying
his
finger
on
his
lip
,
drew
his
companions
back
again
,
with
the
greatest
caution
and
circumspection
.
580
'
What
's
the
matter
?
'
demanded
Oliver
.
