Oliver's life changes(2)

 

Mr Fang then turned to Mr Brownlow and angrily told him to describe that had happened . Mr Brownlow explaned that he had run after the boy only because he saw him running away. He did not think that hte boy was the actual thief and he hoped that the boy would not be punshed. 'He's been hurt already,' he added, 'and now I'm afraid he's very ill.'

 

'I don't believe that for a moment,' said Mr Fang unpleasantly. He turned to Oliver. 'Come now , don't try any clever tricks with me ! What's you name?' he demanded.

 

Oliver tried to reply, but he was too weak to speak. He was deadly pale, and he felt the room spinning round him . At last he managed to whisper a repuest for water, but the magistrate refused angrily. Suddenly, Oliver fainted and fell to the floor.

 

Mr Fang stared at him angrily. 'Let him lie there. He'll soon prison,' he said immediately. 'Let him lie there . He'll soom be tired of that ' Mr Fang stood up. 'This court is now closed.'

 

At that moment a man in an old black coat rushed in . 'Stop! ' he shouted . 'Don't take the boy away. Isaw it all. I'm the bookshop owner.'
