Oliver reached the stile at which the by-path terminated; and once more gained the high-road.
 
It was eight o'clock now. Though 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 by the side of the milestone1, and began to think, for the first time, where he had better go and try to live. The stone by which he was seated, bore, in large characters, an intimation that it was just seventy miles from that spot to London. The name awakened2 a new train of ideas in the boy's mind. London!--that great place!--nobody--not even Mr. Bumble--could ever find him there!
 
He had often heard the old men in the workhouse, too, say that no lad of spirit need want in London; and that there were ways of living in that vast city, which those who had been bred up in country parts had no idea of.
 
It was the very place for a homeless boy, who must die in the streets unless some one helped him. As these things passed through his thoughts, he jumped upon his feet, and again walked forward. He had diminished the distance between himself and London by full four miles more, before he recollected3 how much he must undergo ere he could hope to reach his place of destination. As this consideration forced itself upon him, he slackened his pace a little, and meditated4 upon his means of getting there.
 
He had a crust of bread, a coarse shirt, and two pairs of stockings, in his bundle.
 
He had a penny too--a gift of Sowerberry's after some funeral in which he had acquitted5 himself more than ordinarily well--in his pocket. 'A clean shirt,' thought Oliver, 'is a very comfortable thing; and so are two pairs of darned stockings; and so is a penny; but they are small helps to a sixty-five miles' walk in winter time.'
 
But Oliver's thoughts, like those of most other people, although they were extremely ready and active to point out his difficulties, were wholly at a loss to suggest any feasible mode of surmounting6 them; so, after a good deal of thinking to no particular purpose, he changed his little bundle over to the other shoulder, and trudged7 on. Oliver walked twenty miles that day; and all that time tasted nothing but the crust of dry bread, and a few draughts8 of water, which he begged at the cottage-doors by the road-side.
 
When the night came, he turned into a meadow; and, creeping close under a hay-rick, determined9 to lie there, till morning.
 
He felt frightened at first, for the wind moaned dismally10 over the empty fields: and he was cold and hungry, and more alone than he had ever felt before.
 
Being very tired with his walk, however, he soon fell asleep and forgot his troubles. He felt cold and stiff, when he got up next morning, and so hungry that he was obliged to exchange the penny for a small loaf, in the very first village through which he passed.
 
He had walked no more than twelve miles, when night closed in again. His feet were sore, and his legs so weak that they trembled beneath him.
 
Another night passed in the bleak11 damp air, made him worse; when he set forward on his journey next morning he could hardly crawl along. He waited at the bottom of a steep hill till a stage-coach came up, and then begged of the outside passengers; but there were very few who took any notice of him: and even those told him to wait till they got to the top of the hill, and then let them see how far he could run for a halfpenny.
 
Poor Oliver tried to keep up with the coach a little way, but was unable to do it, by reason of his fatigue12 and sore feet.
 
When the outsides saw this, they put their halfpence back into their pockets again, declaring that he was an idle young dog, and didn't deserve anything; and the coach rattled13 away and left only a cloud of dust behind. In some villages, large painted boards were fixed14 up: warning all persons who begged within the district, that they would be sent to jail.
 
This frightened Oliver very much, and made him glad to get out of those villages with all possible expedition.
 
In others, he would stand about the inn-yards, and look mournfully at every one who passed: a proceeding15 which generally terminated in the landlady's ordering one of the post-boys who were lounging about, to drive that strange boy out of the place, for she was sure he had come to steal something.
 
If he begged at a farmer's house, ten to one but they threatened to set the dog on him; and when he showed his nose in a shop, they talked about the beadle--which brought Oliver's heart into his mouth,--very often the only thing he had there, for many hours together. In fact, if it had not been for a good-hearted turnpike-man, and a benevolent16 old lady, Oliver's troubles would have been shortened by the very same process which had put an end to his mother's; in other words, he would most assuredly have fallen dead upon the king's highway.#p#分页标题#e#
 
But the turnpike-man gave him a meal of bread and cheese; and the old lady, who had a shipwrecked grandson wandering barefoot in some distant part of the earth, took pity upon the poor orphan17, and gave him what little she could afford--and more--with such kind and gentle words, and such tears of sympathy and compassion18, that they sank deeper into Oliver's soul, than all the sufferings he had ever undergone. Early on the seventh morning after he had left his native place, Oliver limped slowly into the little town of Barnet. The window-shutters19 were closed; the street was empty; not a soul had awakened to the business of the day.
 
The sun was rising in all its splendid beauty; but the light only served to show the boy his own lonesomeness and desolation, as he sat, with bleeding feet and covered with dust, upon a door-step. By degrees, the shutters were opened; the window-blinds were drawn20 up; and people began passing to and fro.
 
Some few stopped to gaze at Oliver for a moment or two, or turned round to stare at him as they hurried by; but none relieved him, or troubled themselves to inquire how he came there. He had no heart to beg. And there he sat. He had been crouching21 on the step for some time: wondering at the great number of public-houses (every other house in Barnet was a tavern22, large or small), gazing listlessly at the coaches as they passed through, and thinking how strange it seemed that they could do, with ease, in a few hours, what it had taken him a whole week of courage and determination beyond his years to accomplish: when he was roused by observing that a boy, who had passed him carelessly some minutes before, had returned, and was now surveying him most earnestly from the opposite side of the way.
 
He took little heed23 of this at first; but the boy remained in the same attitude of close observation so long, that Oliver raised his head, and returned his steady look.
 
Upon this, the boy crossed over; and walking close up to Oliver, said, 'Hullo, my covey!
 
What's the row?' The boy who addressed this inquiry24 to the young wayfarer25, was about his own age: but one of the queerest looking boys that Oliver had even seen.
 
He was a snub-nosed, flat-browed, common-faced boy enough; and as dirty a juvenile26 as one would wish to see; but he had about him all the airs and manners of a man.
 
He was short of his age: with rather bow-legs, and little, sharp, ugly eyes.
 
His hat was stuck on the top of his head so lightly, that it threatened to fall off every moment--and would have done so, very often, if the wearer had not had a knack27 of every now and then giving his head a sudden twitch28, which brought it back to its old place again.
 
He wore a man's coat, which reached nearly to his heels.
 
He had turned the cuffs29 back, half-way up his arm, to get his hands out of the sleeves: apparently30 with the ultimate view of thrusting them into the pockets of his corduroy trousers; for there he kept them.
 
He was, altogether, as roystering and swaggering a young gentleman as ever stood four feet six, or something less, in the bluchers. 'Hullo, my covey!
 
What's the row?' said this strange young gentleman to Oliver. 'I am very hungry and tired,' replied Oliver: the tears standing31 in his eyes as he spoke32. 'I have walked a long way.
 
I have been walking these seven days.' 'Walking for sivin days!' said the young gentleman.
 
'Oh, I see. Beak33's order, eh?
 
But,' he added, noticing Oliver's look of surprise, 'I suppose you don't know what a beak is, my flash com-pan-i-on.' Oliver mildly replied, that he had always heard a bird's mouth described by the term in question. 'My eyes, how green!' exclaimed the young gentleman. 'Why, a beak's a madgst'rate; and when you walk by a beak's order, it's not straight forerd, but always agoing up, and niver a coming down agin.
 
Was you never on the mill?' 'What mill?' inquired Oliver. 'What mill!
 
Why, _the_ mill--the mill as takes up so little room that it'll work inside a Stone Jug34; and always goes better when the wind's low with people, than when it's high; acos then they can't get workmen.
 
But come,' said the young gentleman; 'you want grub, and you shall have it.
 
I'm at low-water-mark myself--only one bob and a magpie35; but, as far as it goes, I'll fork out and stump36.
 
Up with you on your pins.
 
There!
 
Now then! 'Morrice!' Assisting Oliver to rise, the young gentleman took him to an adjacent chandler's shop, where he purchased a sufficiency of ready-dressed ham and a half-quartern loaf, or, as he himself expressed it, 'a fourpenny bran!' the ham being kept clean and preserved from dust, by the ingenious expedient37 of making a hole in the loaf by pulling out a portion of the crumb38, and stuffing it therein.#p#分页标题#e#
 
Taking the bread under his arm, the young gentlman turned into a small public-house, and led the way to a tap-room in the rear of the premises39. Here, a pot of beer was brought in, by direction of the mysterious youth; and Oliver, falling to, at his new friend's bidding, made a long and hearty40 meal, during the progress of which the strange boy eyed him from time to time with great attention. 'Going to London?' said the strange boy, when Oliver had at length concluded. 'Yes.' 'Got any lodgings41?' 'No.' 'Money?' 'No.' The strange boy whistled; and put his arms into his pockets, as far as the big coat-sleeves would let them go. 'Do you live in London?' inquired Oliver. 'Yes. I do, when I'm at home,' replied the boy. 'I suppose you want some place to sleep in to-night, don't you?' 'I do, indeed,' answered Oliver. 'I have not slept under a roof since I left the country.' 'Don't fret42 your eyelids43 on that score,' said the young gentleman. 'I've got to be in London to-night; and I know a 'spectable old gentleman as lives there, wot'll give you lodgings for nothink, and never ask for the change--that is, if any genelman he knows interduces you. And don't he know me?
 
Oh, no! Not in the least!
 
By no means.
 
Certainly not!' The young gentleman smiled, as if to intimate that the latter fragments of discourse44 were playfully ironical45; and finished the beer as he did so. This unexpected offer of shelter was too tempting46 to be resisted; especially as it was immediately followed up, by the assurance that the old gentleman referred to, would doubtless provide Oliver with a comfortable place, without loss of time.
 
This led to a more friendly and confidential47 dialogue; from which Oliver discovered that his friend's name was Jack48 Dawkins, and that he was a peculiar49 pet and protege of the elderly gentleman before mentioned. Mr. Dawkin's appearance did not say a vast deal in favour of the comforts which his patron's interest obtained for those whom he took under his protection; but, as he had a rather flightly and dissolute mode of conversing50, and furthermore avowed51 that among his intimate friends he was better known by the sobriquet52 of 'The Artful Dodger53,' Oliver concluded that, being of a dissipated and careless turn, the moral precepts54 of his benefactor55 had hitherto been thrown away upon him.
 
Under this impression, he secretly resolved to cultivate the good opinion of the old gentleman as quickly as possible; and, if he found the Dodger incorrigible56, as he more than half suspected he should, to decline the honour of his farther acquaintance. As John Dawkins objected to their entering London before nightfall, it was nearly eleven o'clock when they reached the turnpike at Islington.
 
They crossed from the Angel into St. John's Road; struck down the small street which terminates at Sadler's Wells Theatre; through Exmouth Street and Coppice Row; down the little court by the side of the workhouse; across the classic ground which once bore the name of Hockley-in-the-Hole; thence into Little Saffron Hill; and so into Saffron Hill the Great: along which the Dodger scudded57 at a rapid pace, directing Oliver to follow close at his heels. Although Oliver had enough to occupy his attention in keeping sight of his leader, he could not help bestowing58 a few hasty glances on either side of the way, as he passed along.
 
A dirtier or more wretched place he had never seen.
 
The street was very narrow and muddy, and the air was impregnated with filthy60 odours. There were a good many small shops; but the only stock in trade appeared to be heaps of children, who, even at that time of night, were crawling in and out at the doors, or screaming from the inside.
 
The sole places that seemed to prosper61 amid the general blight62 of the place, were the public-houses; and in them, the lowest orders of Irish were wrangling63 with might and main. Covered ways and yards, which here and there diverged64 from the main street, disclosed little knots of houses, where drunken men and women were positively65 wallowing in filth59; and from several of the door-ways, great ill-looking fellows were cautiously emerging, bound, to all appearance, on no very well-disposed or harmless errands. Oliver was just considering whether he hadn't better run away, when they reached the bottom of the hill.
 
His conductor, catching66 him by the arm, pushed open the door of a house near Field Lane; and drawing him into the passage, closed it behind them. 'Now, then!' cried a voice from below, in reply to a whistle from the Dodger. 'Plummy and slam!' was the reply. This seemed to be some watchword or signal that all was right; for the light of a feeble candle gleamed on the wall at the remote end of the passage; and a man's face peeped out, from where a balustrade of the old kitchen staircase had been broken away. 'There's two on you,' said the man, thrusting the candle farther out, and shielding his eyes with his hand.#p#分页标题#e#
 
'Who's the t'other one?' 'A new pal,' replied Jack Dawkins, pulling Oliver forward. 'Where did he come from?' 'Greenland. Is Fagin upstairs?' 'Yes, he's a sortin' the wipes.
 
Up with you!'
 
The candle was drawn back, and the face disappeared. Oliver, groping his way with one hand, and having the other firmly grasped by his companion, ascended67 with much difficulty the dark and broken stairs: which his conductor mounted with an ease and expedition that showed he was well acquainted with them. He threw open the door of a back-room, and drew Oliver in after him. The walls and ceiling of the room were perfectly68 black with age and dirt.
 
There was a deal table before the fire: upon which were a candle, stuck in a ginger-beer bottle, two or three pewter pots, a loaf and butter, and a plate.
 
In a frying-pan, which was on the fire, and which was secured to the mantelshelf by a string, some sausages were cooking; and standing over them, with a toasting-fork in his hand, was a very old shrivelled Jew, whose villainous-looking and repulsive69 face was obscured by a quantity of matted red hair. He was dressed in a greasy70 flannel71 gown, with his throat bare; and seemed to be dividing his attention between the frying-pan and the clothes-horse, over which a great number of silk handkerchiefs were hanging.
 
Several rough beds made of old sacks, were huddled72 side by side on the floor. Seated round the table were four or five boys, none older than the Dodger, smoking long clay pipes, and drinking spirits with the air of middle-aged73 men.
 
These all crowded about their associate as he whispered a few words to the Jew; and then turned round and grinned at Oliver.
 
So did the Jew himself, toasting-fork in hand. 'This is him, Fagin,' said Jack Dawkins;'my friend Oliver Twist.' The Jew grinned; and, making a low obeisance74 to Oliver, took him by the hand, and hoped he should have the honour of his intimate acquaintance.
 
Upon this, the young gentleman with the pipes came round him, and shook both his hands very hard--especially the one in which he held his little bundle.
 
One young gentleman was very anxious to hang up his cap for him; and another was so obliging as to put his hands in his pockets, in order that, as he was very tired, he might not have the trouble of emptying them, himself, when he went to bed.
 
These civilities would probably be extended much farther, but for a liberal exercise of the Jew's toasting-fork on the heads and shoulders of the affectionate youths who offered them. 'We are very glad to see you, Oliver, very,' said the Jew. 'Dodger, take off the sausages; and draw a tub near the fire for Oliver.
 
Ah, you're a-staring at the pocket-handkerchiefs! eh, my dear. There are a good many of 'em, ain't there? We've just looked 'em out, ready for the wash; that's all, Oliver; that's all. Ha! ha! ha!' The latter part of this speech, was hailed by a boisterous75 shout from all the hopeful pupils of the merry old gentleman. In the midst of which they went to supper. Oliver ate his share, and the Jew then mixed him a glass of hot gin-and-water: telling him he must drink it off directly, because another gentleman wanted the tumbler. Oliver did as he was desired. Immediately afterwards he felt himself gently lifted on to one of the sacks; and then he sunk into a deep sleep.
