| Oliver was born in a workhouse. His mother arrived and nobody knew who she was or where she came from. She died after his birth. |
|
 | “She was a good-looking girl, too; where did she come from?" | |
|
| “She was brought here last night by the overseer’s order. She was found lying in the street. She had walked some distance, for her shoes were worn to pieces; but where she came from, or where she was going to, nobody knows.” | |

| Oliver was sent to a juvenile detention center. On his ninth birthday Mr. Bumble informs Mrs. Mann he can no longer stay there. |
|
| “Oliver being now too old to remain here, the board have determined to have him back into the house. I have come out myself to take him there. So let me see him at once.” | |
|
| “I’ll fetch him directly,” | |

|
| Oliver was convinced to ask the gaurds for more food by the other kids in the house. The boys all hungry nudged him to. They slapped Oliver and decided to give five pounds to anyone willing to take him from the parish. |
|
| “Please, sir, I want some more." | |
|
| “I never was more convinced of anything in my life, than I am that that boy will come to be hung." | |
