After the robbery (4)

 

The old woman could hardly spead. 'Oliver . The gold I stole was --'

 

'Yes , yes! What?'

 

The old woman fell back onto the bed , dead .

 

Mrs Corney hurried back to her room, where Mr Bumble was still admiring her furniture and counting her silver teaspoons. They sat down again by the fire, and soon Mr Bumble's arm returned to its previous position round Mrs Corney's waist, It was not long before he asked her to marry him,and the widow happily accepted him . While they drank to celebrate the arrangement. Mrs Corney told Mr Bumble about old Sally's death,  and the unknown gold object which she had stolen from the dead body of the young woman.

 

After many expressions of undying love , Mr Bumble finally left the room and returned home, with bright visions of his future.
