Mr.
Sowerberry
came
down
soon
after
.
Shortly
afterwards
,
Mrs.
Sowerberry
appeared
.
Oliver
having
'
caught
it
,
'
in
fulfilment
of
Noah
's
prediction
,
followed
that
young
gentleman
down
the
stairs
to
breakfast
.
272
'
Come
near
the
fire
,
Noah
,
'
said
Charlotte
.
'
I
saved
a
nice
little
bit
of
bacon
for
you
from
master
's
breakfast
.
Oliver
,
shut
that
door
at
Mister
Noah
's
back
,
and
take
them
bits
that
I
've
put
out
on
the
cover
of
the
bread-pan
.
There
's
your
tea
;
take
it
away
to
that
box
,
and
drink
it
there
,
and
make
haste
,
for
they
'll
want
you
to
mind
the
shop
.
D'ye
hear
?
'
273
'
D'ye
hear
,
Work
'
us
?
'
said
Noah
Claypole

'
Lor
,
Noah
!
'
said
Charlotte
,
'
what
a
rum
creature
you
are
!
Why
do
n't
you
let
the
boy
alone
?
'
275
'
Let
him
alone
!
'
said
Noah
.
'
Why
everybody
lets
him
alone
enough
,
for
the
matter
of
that
.
Neither
his
father
nor
his
mother
will
ever
interfere
with
him
.
All
his
relations
let
him
have
his
own
way
pretty
well
.
Eh
,
Charlotte
?
He
!
he
!
he
!
'
276
'
Oh
,
you
queer
soul
!
'
said
Charlotte
,
bursting
into
a
hearty
laugh
,
in
which
she
was
joined
by
Noah
;
after
which
they
both
looked
scornfully
at
poor
Oliver
Twist
,
as
he
sat
shivering
on
the
box
in
the
coldest
corner
of
the
room
,
and
ate
the
stale
pieces
which
had
been
specially
reserved
for
him
.
277
Noah
was
a
charity-boy
,
but
not
a
workhouse
orphan
.
No
chance-child
was
he
,
for
he
could
trace
his
genealogy
all
the
way
back
to
his
parents
,
who
lived
hard
by
;
his
mother
being
a
washerwoman
,
and
his
father
a
drunken
soldier
,
discharged
with
a
wooden
leg
,
and
a
diurnal
pension
of
twopence-halfpenny
and
an
unstateable
fraction
.

The
shop-boys
in
the
neighbourhood
had
long
been
in
the
habit
of
branding
Noah
in
the
public
streets
,
with
the
ignominious
epithets
of
'
leathers
,
'
'
charity
,
'
and
the
like
;
and
Noah
had
bourne
them
without
reply
.
But
,
now
that
fortune
had
cast
in
his
way
a
nameless
orphan
,
at
whom
even
the
meanest
could
point
the
finger
of
scorn
,
he
retorted
on
him
with
interest
.
This
affords
charming
food
for
contemplation
.
It
shows
us
what
a
beautiful
thing
human
nature
may
be
made
to
be
;
and
how
impartially
the
same
amiable
qualities
are
developed
in
the
finest
lord
and
the
dirtiest
charity-boy
.

Oliver
had
been
sojourning
at
the
undertaker
's
some
three
weeks
or
a
month
.
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Sowerberry
--
the
shop
being
shut
up
--
were
taking
their
supper
in
the
little
back-parlour
,
when
Mr.
Sowerberry
,
after
several
deferential
glances
at
his
wife
,
said
,
280
'
My
dear
--
'
He
was
going
to
say
more
;
but
,
Mrs.
Sowerberry
looking
up
,
with
a
peculiarly
unpropitious
aspect
,
he
stopped
short
.
