Oh

,

do

n't

tell

you

are

going

to

send

me

away

,

sir

,

pray

!

'

exclaimed

Oliver

,

alarmed

at

the

serious

tone

of

the

old

gentleman

's

commencement

!

'

Do

n't

turn

me

out

of

doors

to

wander

in

the

streets

again

.

Let

me

stay

here

,

and

be

a

servant

.

Do

n't

send

me

back

to

the

wretched

place

I

came

from

.

Have

mercy

upon

a

poor

boy

,

sir

!

'

'

My

dear

child

,

'

said

the

old

gentleman

,

moved

by

the

warmth

of

Oliver

's

sudden

appeal

;

'

you

need

not

be

afraid

of

my

deserting

you

,

unless

you

give

me

cause

.

I

never

,

never

will

,

sir

,

'

interposed

Oliver

.

'

I

hope

not

,

'

rejoined

the

old

gentleman

.

'

I

do

not

think

you

ever

will

.

I

have

been

deceived

,

before

,

in

the

objects

whom

I

have

endeavoured

to

benefit

;

but

I

feel

strongly

disposed

to

trust

you

,

nevertheless

;

and

I

am

more

interested

in

your

behalf

than

I

can

well

account

for

,

even

to

myself

.

The

persons

on

whom

I

have

bestowed

my

dearest

love

,

lie

deep

in

their

graves

;

but

,

although

the

happiness

and

delight

of

my

life

lie

buried

there

too

,

I

have

not

made

a

coffin

of

my

heart

,

and

sealed

it

up

,

forever

,

on

my

best

affections

.

Deep

affliction

has

but

strengthened

and

refined

them

.

'

As

the

old

gentleman

said

this

in

a

low

voice

:

more

to

himself

than

to

his

companion

:

and

as

he

remained

silent

for

a

short

time

afterwards

:

Oliver

sat

quite

still

.

'

Well

,

well

!

'

said

the

old

gentleman

at

length

,

in

a

more

cheerful

tone

,

'

I

only

say

this

,

because

you

have

a

young

heart

;

and

knowing

that

I

have

suffered

great

pain

and

sorrow

,

you

will

be

more

careful

,

perhaps

,

not

to

wound

me

again

.

You

say

you

are

an

orphan

,

without

a

friend

in

the

world

;

all

the

inquiries

I

have

been

able

to

make

,

confirm

the

statement

.

Let

me

hear

your

story

;

where

you

come

from

;

who

brought

you

up

;

and

how

you

got

into

the

company

in

which

I

found

you

.

Speak

the

truth

,

and

you

shall

not

be

friendless

while

I

live

.

Oliver

's

sobs

checked

his

utterance

for

some

minutes

;

when

he

was

on

the

point

of

beginning

to

relate

how

he

had

been

brought

up

at

the

farm

,

and

carried

to

the

workhouse

by

Mr.

Bumble

,

a

peculiarly

impatient

little

double-knock

was

heard

at

the

street-door

:

and

the

servant

,

running

upstairs

,

announced

Mr.

Grimwig

.

'

Is

he

coming

up

?

'

inquired

Mr.

Brownlow

.

'

Yes

,

sir

,

'

replied

the

servant

.

'

He

asked

if

there

were

any

muffins

in

the

house

;

and

,

when

I

told

him

yes

,

he

said

he

had

come

to

tea

.
