| Oliver was set to be sold. Mr. Gamfield was offered 3 pounds after speaking to the people at the parish. They discused how many kids had died under his care. |
|
 | “This is the boy, your worship,” | |
|
| “I suppose he’s fond of chimney-sweeping?” | |
|
|
|
|
|
| Mr. Bumble noticed Olivers pale expression and asked him what was wrong. |
|
| “you look pale and alarmed. What is the matter?” | |
|
| Oliver fell on his knees, and clasping his hands together, prayed that they would order him back to the dark room—that they would starve him—beat him—kill him if they pleased—rather than send him away with that dreadful man. | |

|
| The people of the parish consider sending him out to sea as a cabin boy but realuize he could die very easily there. Mr. Sowerberry is offered the boy and he takes him. |
|
| “you don’t know anybody who wants a boy, do you?" | |
|
| “Here! I’ve brought the boy.” | |
