Sikes was alarmed by the paleness

Sikes was alarmed by the paleness With a sigh for every piece of money，Fagin Tarps put the agreed amount into her hand ．

When Nancy was out in the street again，she sat down on a door step，and for a few minutes seemed unable to move．The n she started running wildly through the streets，and when she was exhausted she stopped and burst into tears．This strange mood seemed to leave her the n，and she turned and hurried back to Sikes’ house．

At first when she returned，Sikes noticed nothing unusual about her．Fagin，with his sharp，suspicious eyes，would have noticed something at once．But as night came，the girl’s nervous excitement increased and even Sikes was alarmed by the paleness in her cheeks and the fire in her eye．

He lay in bed，drinking hot gin-and-water，and staring at her． ‘You look like a corpse that’s come back to life again．What’s the matter with you tonight？
