Reading Chapters 7-18

We are learning to explore the characters and their relationships along with the significant events in the novel.

Chapters 7-9:  Oliver is beaten by both Mr Bumble and Mr Sowerberry. That night, he decides to escape. Oliver decides to walk 70 miles to London, where he believes Mr Bumble and Mr Sowerberry will never find him.  He meets a boy about his own age who calls himself the Artful Dodger. The next morning, when Fagin thinks Oliver is asleep, he examines a secret stash of jewelry. He is angry when he realizes Oliver has seen the jewels and hides them away. The Dodger returns with another boy, Charley Bates, and they hand Fagin some pocketbooks and handkerchiefs. They play a game where they try to steal from Fagin without him noticing. Fagin then invites Oliver to try.

Chapter 10-12: After spending many days picking embroidery and playing the strange game, Oliver is finally allowed out with Charley and the Artful Dodger. At the police station, Oliver is locked in a dismal cell, and the gentleman contemplates why Oliver looks so familiar. Soon Oliver appears before the police magistrate, Mr. Fang. Oliver wakes up in a clean, soft bed and is attended by Mrs. Bedwin, who is Mr. Brownlow's housekeeper. Oliver is in Mr. Brownlow's house.

Chapter 13-15: Jack Dawkins tells Fagin that the police have Oliver. Bill Sikes arrives, followed by his dog, a canine version of his brutal master. Sikes and Fagin worry that Oliver will say something that will lead the police to them. When Oliver recovers, Mr. Brownlow invites him to his study, where they discuss Oliver's future. Oliver learns that the people Mr. Brownlow loves most are dead. Just as Oliver is about to tell the story of his life, a visitor arrives—Mr. Grimwig, an old friend of Mr. Brownlow. Fagin meets Bill Sikes in a pub to pay Bill for his latest haul. Nancy arrives and tells the men that Oliver has been sick in bed. She would say more, but a look from Fagin silences her.

Chapters 16-18: Bill Sikes and Nancy return Oliver to Fagin's, where Oliver begs Fagin to return the books and money so that Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Bedwin will not think he has stolen from them. Mr. Bumble visits Mrs. Mann, where Dick asks to leave a dying message for "poor Oliver Twist." To punish him for having fallen under Oliver's sway, Dick is locked in the coal cellar. After spending a week locked in the kitchen, Oliver is left alone with the run of the house. The shutters are nailed closed, and the place is dark and dirty. The house is old, and Oliver imagines that people once lived there happily.
