They set out by coach on e fine morning,and when they arrived
in London, , they went straight to Mr Brownlow's house . Oliver's
heart beat with excitement as they stopped outside. But the house
was empty. They were told by the people next door that Mr Brownlow
had moved to the West Indies six weeks before. Oliver was very
disappointed; he had thought about Mr Brownlow so much recently,
and had always hoped to find him again. But now the kind old man
had moved abroad, still believing Oliver was a lying thief , and he
might hold this belief until the day he died.
This was a bitter disappointment to Olvier , but his new
friends were still as kind to him as ever. They left the house in
Chertsey and noved to a quiet cottage in the country, taking Oliver
with them . Spring came , and in the fresh air, away from the noise
and smoke and trouble of the city, Olilver began
a new life . He went for walks with Rose and Mrs
Maylie, or Rose read to him , and he worked hard at his lessons .
He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and
hardship and poverty.
