'a good 'spectable chimbley-sweepin' bisness,' said Mr. Gamfield, 'I wants a 'prentis, and I am ready to take him.'
 
'Walk in,' said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. Mr. Gamfield having lingered behind, to give the donkey another blow on the head, and another wrench1 of the jaw2, as a caution not to run away in his absence, followed the gentleman with the white waistcoat into the room where Oliver had first seen him.
 
'It's a nasty trade,' said Mr. Limbkins, when Gamfield had again stated his wish.
 
'Young boys have been smothered3 in chimneys before now,' said another gentleman.
 
'That's acause they damped the straw afore they lit it in the chimbley to make 'em come down again,' said Gamfield; 'that's all smoke, and no blaze; vereas smoke ain't o' no use at all in making a boy come down, for it only sinds him to sleep, and that's wot he likes. Boys is wery obstinit, and wery lazy, Gen'l'men, and there's nothink like a good hot blaze to make 'em come down vith a run. It's humane4 too, gen'l'men, acause, even if they've stuck in the chimbley, roasting their feet makes 'em struggle to hextricate theirselves.'
 
The gentleman in the white waistcoat appeared very much amused by this explanation; but his mirth was speedily checked by a look from Mr. Limbkins. The board then proceeded to converse5 among themselves for a few minutes, but in so low a tone, that the words 'saving of expenditure,' 'looked well in the accounts,' 'have a printed report published,' were alone audible. These only chanced to be heard, indeed, or account of their being very frequently repeated with great emphasis.
 
At length the whispering ceased; and the members of the board, having resumed their seats and their solemnity, Mr. Limbkins said:
 
'We have considered your proposition, and we don't approve of it.'
 
'Not at all,' said the gentleman in the white waistcoat.
 
'Decidedly not,' added the other members.
 
As Mr. Gamfield did happen to labour under the slight imputation6 of having bruised7 three or four boys to death already, it occurred to him that the board had, perhaps, in some unaccountable freak, taken it into their heads that this extraneous8 circumstance ought to influence their proceedings9. It was very unlike their general mode of doing business, if they had; but still, as he had no particular wish to revive the rumour10, he twisted his cap in his hands, and walked slowly from the table.
 
'So you won't let me have him, gen'l'men?' said Mr. Gamfield, pausing near the door.
 
'No,' replied Mr. Limbkins; 'at least, as it's a nasty business, we think you ought to take something less than the premium11 we offered.'
 
Mr. Gamfield's countenance12 brightened, as, with a quick step, he returned to the table, and said,
 
'What'll you give, gen'l'men? Come! Don't be too hard on a poor man. What'll you give?'
 
'I should say, three pound ten was plenty,' said Mr. Limbkins.
 
'Ten shillings too much,' said the gentleman in the white waistcoat.
 
'Come!' said Gamfield; 'say four pound, gen'l'men. Say four pound, and you've got rid of him for good and all. There!'
 
'Three pound ten,' repeated Mr. Limbkins, firmly.
 
'Come! I'll split the diff'erence, gen'l'men,' urged Gamfield. 'Three pound fifteen.'
 
'Not a farthing more,' was the firm reply of Mr. Limbkins.
 
'You're desperate hard upon me, gen'l'men,' said Gamfield, wavering.
 
'Pooh! pooh! nonsense!' said the gentleman in the white waistcoat. 'He'd be cheap with nothing at all, as a premium. Take him, you silly fellow! He's just the boy for you. He wants the stick, now and then: it'll do him good; and his board needn't come very expensive, for he hasn't been overfed since he was born. Ha! ha! ha!'
 
Mr. Gamfield gave an arch look at the faces round the table, and, observing a smile on all of them, gradually broke into a smile himself. The bargain was made. Mr. Bumble, was at once instructed that Oliver Twist and his indentures13 were to be conveyed before the magistrate14, for signature and approval, that very afternoon.
 
In pursuance of this determination, little Oliver, to his excessive astonishment15, was released from bondage16, and ordered to put himself into a clean shirt. He had hardly achieved this very unusual gymnastic performance, when Mr. Bumble brought him, with his own hands, a basin of gruel17, and the holiday allowance of two ounces and a quarter of bread. At this tremendous sight, Oliver began to cry very piteously: thinking, not unnaturally18, that the board must have determined19 to kill him for some useful purpose, or they never would have begun to fatten20 him up in that way.#p#分页标题#e#
 
'Don't make your eyes red, Oliver, but eat your food and be thankful,' said Mr. Bumble, in a tone of impressive pomposity21. 'You're a going to be made a 'prentice of, Oliver.'
 
'A prentice, sir!' said the child, trembling.
 
'Yes, Oliver,' said Mr. Bumble. 'The kind and blessed gentleman which is so many parents to you, Oliver, when you have none of your own: are a going to 'prentice' you: and to set you up in life, and make a man of you: although the expense to the parish is three pound ten!--three pound ten, Oliver!--seventy shillins--one hundred and forty sixpences!--and all for a naughty orphan23 which nobody can't love.'
 
As Mr. Bumble paused to take breath, after delivering this address in an awful voice, the tears rolled down the poor child's face, and he sobbed24 bitterly.
 
'Come,' said Mr. Bumble, somewhat less pompously25, for it was gratifying to his feelings to observe the effect his eloquence26 had produced; 'Come, Oliver! Wipe your eyes with the cuffs27 of your jacket, and don't cry into your gruel; that's a very foolish action, Oliver.' It certainly was, for there was quite enough water in it already.
 
On their way to the magistrate, Mr. Bumble instructed Oliver that all he would have to do, would be to look very happy, and say, when the gentleman asked him if he wanted to be apprenticed28, that he should like it very much indeed; both of which injunctions Oliver promised to obey: the rather as Mr. Bumble threw in a gentle hint, that if he failed in either particular, there was no telling what would be done to him. When they arrived at the office, he was shut up in a little room by himself, and admonished29 by Mr. Bumble to stay there, until he came back to fetch him.
 
There the boy remained, with a palpitating heart, for half an hour. At the expiration30 of which time Mr. Bumble thrust in his head, unadorned with the cocked hat, and said aloud:
 
'Now, Oliver, my dear, come to the gentleman.' As Mr. Bumble said this, he put on a grim and threatening look, and added, in a low voice, 'Mind what I told you, you young rascal31!'
 
Oliver stared innocently in Mr. Bumble's face at this somewhat contradictory32 style of address; but that gentleman prevented his offering any remark thereupon, by leading him at once into an adjoining room: the door of which was open. It was a large room, with a great window. Behind a desk, sat two old gentleman with powdered heads: one of whom was reading the newspaper; while the other was perusing33, with the aid of a pair of tortoise-shell spectacles, a small piece of parchment which lay before him. Mr. Limbkins was standing34 in front of the desk on one side; and Mr. Gamfield, with a partially35 washed face, on the other; while two or three bluff-looking men, in top-boots, were lounging about.
 
The old gentleman with the spectacles gradually dozed36 off, over the little bit of parchment; and there was a short pause, after Oliver had been stationed by Mr. Bumble in front of the desk.
 
'This is the boy, your worship,' said Mr. Bumble.
 
The old gentleman who was reading the newspaper raised his head for a moment, and pulled the other old gentleman by the sleeve; whereupon, the last-mentioned old gentleman woke up.
 
'Oh, is this the boy?' said the old gentleman.
 
'This is him, sir,' replied Mr. Bumble. 'Bow to the magistrate, my dear.'
 
Oliver roused himself, and made his best obeisance37. He had been wondering, with his eyes fixed38 on the magistrates39' powder, whether all boards were born with that white stuff on their heads, and were boards from thenceforth on that account.
 
'Well,' said the old gentleman, 'I suppose he's fond of chimney-sweeping?'
 
'He doats on it, your worship,' replied Bumble; giving Oliver a sly pinch, to intimate that he had better not say he didn't.
 
'And he _will_ be a sweep, will he?' inquired the old gentleman.
 
'If we was to bind40 him to any other trade to-morrow, he'd run away simultaneous, your worship,' replied Bumble.
 
'And this man that's to be his master--you, sir--you'll treat him well, and feed him, and do all that sort of thing, will you?' said the old gentleman.
 
'When I says I will, I means I will,' replied Mr. Gamfield doggedly41.
 
'You're a rough speaker, my friend, but you look an honest, open-hearted man,' said the old gentleman: turning his spectacles in the direction of the candidate for Oliver's premium, whose villainous countenance was a regular stamped receipt for cruelty. But the magistrate was half blind and half childish, so he couldn't reasonably be expected to discern what other people did.#p#分页标题#e#
 
'I hope I am, sir,' said Mr. Gamfield, with an ugly leer.
 
'I have no doubt you are, my friend,' replied the old gentleman: fixing his spectacles more firmly on his nose, and looking about him for the inkstand.
 
It was the critical moment of Oliver's fate. If the inkstand had been where the old gentleman thought it was, he would have dipped his pen into it, and signed the indentures, and Oliver would have been straightway hurried off. But, as it chanced to be immediately under his nose, it followed, as a matter of course, that he looked all over his desk for it, without finding it; and happening in the course of his search to look straight before him, his gaze encountered the pale and terrified face of Oliver Twist: who, despite all the admonitory looks and pinches of Bumble, was regarding the repulsive42 countenance of his future master, with a mingled43 expression of horror and fear, too palpable to be mistaken, even by a half-blind magistrate.
 
The old gentleman stopped, laid down his pen, and looked from Oliver to Mr. Limbkins; who attempted to take snuff with a cheerful and unconcerned aspect.
 
'My boy!' said the old gentleman, 'you look pale and alarmed. What is the matter?'
 
'Stand a little away from him, Beadle,' said the other magistrate: laying aside the paper, and leaning forward with an expression of interest. 'Now, boy, tell us what's the matter: don't be afraid.'
 
Oliver fell on his knees, and clasping his hands together, prayed that they would order him back to the dark room--that they would starve him--beat him--kill him if they pleased--rather than send him away with that dreadful man.
 
'Well!' said Mr. Bumble, raising his hands and eyes with most impressive solemnity. 'Well! of all the artful and designing orphans44 that ever I see, Oliver, you are one of the most bare-facedest.'
 
'Hold your tongue, Beadle,' said the second old gentleman, when Mr. Bumble had given vent22 to this compound adjective.
 
'I beg your worship's pardon,' said Mr. Bumble, incredulous of having heard aright. 'Did your worship speak to me?'
 
'Yes. Hold your tongue.'
 
Mr. Bumble was stupefied with astonishment. A beadle ordered to hold his tongue! A moral revolution!
 
The old gentleman in the tortoise-shell spectacles looked at his companion, he nodded significantly.
 
'We refuse to sanction these indentures,' said the old gentleman: tossing aside the piece of parchment as he spoke45.
 
'I hope,' stammered46 Mr. Limbkins: 'I hope the magistrates will not form the opinion that the authorities have been guilty of any improper47 conduct, on the unsupported testimony48 of a child.'
 
'The magistrates are not called upon to pronounce any opinion on the matter,' said the second old gentleman sharply. 'Take the boy back to the workhouse, and treat him kindly49. He seems to want it.'
 
That same evening, the gentleman in the white waistcoat most positively50 and decidedly affirmed, not only that Oliver would be hung, but that he would be drawn51 and quartered into the bargain. Mr. Bumble shook his head with gloomy mystery, and said he wished he might come to good; whereunto Mr. Gamfield replied, that he wished he might come to him; which, although he agreed with the beadle in most matters, would seem to be a wish of a totally opposite description.
 
The next morning, the public were once informed that Oliver Twist was again To Let, and that five pounds would be paid to anybody who would take possession of him.
