A Tribble Job
Once day, windy night when fagin went out to visit bill sikes. He and sikes were busily planning to rob a house in Chertsey. Sikes was going to do the job with another obber, Toby Crackit. Toby had been hanging about he fine house for two weeks. But he had not been ble to get any of the servants to join in their plot.The robbers would need a small child to go in the window and open the front door for them. It was decided that Oliver would go with Nancy more willingly than with anyone else. So she was chosen to take Oliver to sikes. The next night Nancy walked out Fagin’s door holding Oliver hand tightly. Oliver thought about calling for help or many people were still in the streets. But it was as if Nancy could read his thoughts. When they reached Bill Sikes the man loaded his gun in front of Oliver. Then he touched the cold metal to the boy’s head. Before Oliver had time to look around, Sikes caught him under the arms. Three or four seconds later, Oliver and Toby were lying in the grass on the other side of the wall. Sikes followed directly. Then they crept slowly toward the house.Now, for the first time, Oliver could see what the men had on their minds. When I put you through this window, go up the steps and along the hall to the street door. Then open the door and let us in.Sikes pushed Oliver through the window. Oliver heard men shouting and guns shooting. For a minute, he felt himself being carried over uneven ground at a rapid pace. Then a deadly cold feeling gripped the boy’s heart, and he saw and heard no more.
