Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhaps he would have cried even more loudly. There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse, so Oliver was sent to a special 'baby farm' nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing.

She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children's food. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean. This was the way Oliver was brought up. Consequently, at the age of nine he was a pale, thin child and short for his age.

Автор: Dickens Charles Жанр: Классическая проза One of Dickens' most enduringly popular stories is Oliver Twist, an early work published 1837-8.

After a long discussion, they decided that one of them should ask for more food after supper that evening, and Oliver was chosen. The evening arrived; the soup was served, and the bowls were empty again in a few seconds. Oliver went up to the master, with his bowl in his hand. He felt very frightened, but also desperate with hunger. 'Please, sir, I want some more. ' The master was a fat, healthy man, but he turned very pale. He looked at the little boy in front of him with amazement. Nobody else spoke. 'What? ' he asked at last, in a faint voice. 'Please, sir, replied Oliver, 'I want some more. ' The master hit him with the serving spoon, then seized Oliver's arms and shouted for the beadle. The beadle came quickly, heard the dreadful news, and immediately ran to tell the board. 'He asked for more? ' Mr Limbkins, the fattest board member, asked in horror. 'Bumble – is this really true? ' 'That boy will be hanged! ' said the man who earlier had called Oliver a tool. 'You see if I'm not right. '

But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann, his spirit was strong, which was probably the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all. On Oliver's ninth birthday, Mr Bumble the beadle came to the house to see Mrs Mann. Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her. Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed! ' she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate. (It was always kept locked to prevent official visitors walking in unexpectedly. ) 'I have business to talk about, ' Mr Bumble told Mrs Mann as he entered the house. He was a big fat man, often bad-tempered, and was full of self-importance. He did not like to be kept waiting at a locked gate. Mrs Mann took his hat and coat, placed a chair for him, and expressed great concern for his comfort. 'You've had a long walk, Mr Bumble, ' she said, 'and you must be thirsty. ' She took out a bottle from the cupboard. 'No, thank you, Mrs Mann. Not a drop. ' He waved the bottle away.
