It was said as a joke,but if the man had seen the evil look on Fagin's face,he might have thought the warning was a necessary one .

 

Fagin produced some beer , and as the fight appeared to he over, eberybody sat down . In the conversation that followed, Faang told the newcomer that Oliver had been caught by the police.'I'm afraid, Mr Sikes', hesaid,'the boy may say something which will get us into trouble.'

 

'Very likely,' said Bill Sikes , smiling unkindly ,' You'vegot problems, Fagin.'

 

'And I'm afraid,' added Fagin , ignoring Sikesremark 'that if we're in trouble, then a lot of other people will he in trouble too, if you understand me , my dear.'

 

Sikes turned angrily towards the old man . There was a silence . Then Sikes said . 'Somebody must find out what's happened . If he hasn't said anything yet , we must catch him when he leaves the police station.'
