A man and an old woman stood near the body
One day Mr Bumble came to tell the m about a woman who had died in an extremely
factories poor part of the town, and Sowerberry and O liver went to collect the body.They went down dirty narrow streets where the houses on either side were tall and large,but very old.
Some of the houses were almost falling down, and had to be supported by huge blocks of wood. The area was so poor that even the dead rats in the street looked as though They had died of hunger.
They found the right house,and climbed the dark stairs to a miserable little room.Some children watched the m from the shadows as They entered.Something lay beneath a blanket on the floor in one corner.A man and an old woman stood near the body.O liver was afraid to look at the m. With their thin faces and sharp teeth, They looked like the rats he had seen outside.
