Oliver goes to london(3)
'She was so bad it was lucky she died, or she would have ended
up in prison, or hung.'
His face bright red with anger , Oliver jumped up, seized
Noah's heroat, and shook the older boy so violently that his teeth
nearly fell out . Then he hit him with all his strength, and
knocked him to the ground.
'He'll murder me !' screamed Noah . 'Charlotte! Help! Oliver's
gone mad--'
Charlotte and Mrs Sowerberry ran in and screamed horror . They
took hold of Oliver and began to beat him . Then Noah got up and
started to kick him from behind . When they were all tried forced
Oliver , who was still figthing and shouting , intl the cellar and
locked it .
Mrs Sowerberry sat down, breathing heavily,
'He's like a wile animal !' she said . ' We could all have been
murdered in our beds!'
'I hope Mr Sowerberry doesn't take any more
of these dreadful creatures from the workhouse,' said Charlotte, '
Poor Noah was nerly killed! ' Mrs Sowerberry looked at Noah
sympathetically.
Noah, who was teice Oliver's size, pretended
to rub tears from his eyes.
'What shall we do?' cried Mrs Sowerberry ,
'Hell kiek that door down in ten minutes.' They could hear
Oliverbanging and kicking at the cellar door.'Noah--run and get Mr
Bumble.'
