So it was decided that Oliver would help Sikes with the
robbery in two days' time . The plan was discussed in great detail
and all the arrangements made . By then , Sikes was very drunk, and
Fagin got up to leave. As he put on his coat,he stared hard at
Nancy, frowning a little, No, he was sure he cold trust her;
赊借机.
The next nigth, Oliver was alone in Fagin's house when Nancy
entered. She was so nervous and white-faced that Oliver asked her
if she was ill.
'God forgive me!'she said, beating her hands together. 'I
never thought I would do this!'
'Has anything bappened?' asked the boy. 'Whata is it?' hands .
After a while she said, 'Idon't know why I feel so strange
sometimes. Come on , Oliver - are you ready? You have to Bill's
house.'
'Why?'
'Oh - nothing important.'
Oliver did not believe her but he thought that at last this
might be an opportunity to escape. Sohe said, rather too quickly,
'I' m ready,' Nancy guessed what he was
thinking.
'Oliver ,' she said,'this is not the time to escape. I've
saved you once, and I will again, but if anything happens tonight ,
it might mean my death.' She said this so seriously that Oliver
decided ti must be true. He was quiet while they walked quickly
through through the streets to Sikes' house.
