Bates roared with laughter
Still weak from illness, and terrified by the
straw bag growling dog, O liver could not resist. He was taken through the dark narrow streets at great speed. Sikes and Nancy gave him no chance to escape and O liver had no breath to call out for help. All too quickly, he was back in Fagin's house, where his old friends were waiting for him.
'Delighted to see you looking so well, my dear, 'Fagin said, bowing politely. 'Why didn't you write, and say you were coming? We'd have got something warm for supper. '
The Dodger and Charley Bates roared with laughter, and the Dodger began looking through the books O liver had with him.
'Give the m back! 'O liver cried. 'Those books belong to the kind old gentleman who took me into his home. Send him back the books and the money—he'll think I stole the m! '
'You're right, 'laughed Fagin. 'He will
straw bag think that! '
