“Fagin will make something of you, though, or you’ll be the first he ever had that turned out unprofitable. You’d better begin at once; for you’ll come to the trade long before you think of it; and you’re only losing time, Oliver.”

"I want a boy, and he mustn't be a big un. Lord!"

Name the setting. " The darkness and deep stillness of the room were very solemn; and as they brought into the boy's mind the thought that death had been hovering there for many days and nights, and might yet fill it with the gloom and dread of his awful presence, he turned his face upon the pillow and fervently prayed to Heaven."

“He was a dear, grateful, gentle child, sir,” retorted...indignantly. “I know what children are, sir; and have done these forty years; and people who can’t say the same, shouldn’t say anything about them.”

"Bring in your body...Lie down, you stupid brute! Don't you know the devil when he's got a great-coat on?"

Name the setting. "The mud lay thick upon the stones, and a black mist hung over the streets; the rain fell sluggishly down, and everything felt cold and clammy to touch. It seemed just the night when it befitted such a being as the Jew to be abroad."

Name the setting. " It was eight o'clock now; and, thought he was nearly five miles away from the town, he ran, and hid behind the hedges by turns, till noon, fearing that he might be pursued and overtaken. Then he sat down to rest at the side of a mile-stone, and began to think for the first time when he had better go and try to live."

Name the setting. " Spiders had built their webs in angles of the walls and ceilings; and sometimes, when Oliver walked softly into a room, the mice would scamper across the floor, and run back terrified to their holes: with these exceptions, there was neither sight nor sound of any living thing; and often, when it grew dark, and he was tired of wondering from room to room, he would crouch in the corner passage by the street-door, to be as near to living people as he could..."

Name the setting. " A dirtier and more wretched place he had never seen. The street was very narrow and muddy, and the air was impregnated with filthy odours. There were a good many small shops; but the only stock in trade appeared to be heaps of children, who, even at the time of night, were crawling in and out at the doors, or screaming from the inside."
