OLIVER TWIST 36 pt
Soon, Oliver naively goes out to "make handkerchiefs" with the Aful Doger and Charley Bates, only to learn that their real mission is to pick pockets. The Dodger and Charley steal the handkerchief of an old glman nmed Mr Brownlow and promptly flee. When he finds his hachief missing, Mr Brolow turns round, sees Oliver running away in fright, and pursues him, thinking he was the thief. Others join the chse, capture Oliver, and bring him befre the magistrate. Culy, Mr Brownlow has second thoughts about the bo he seems reluctant to believe he is a pickpocket. To the judge's evident dpment, a books tall holder who saw the Dodger commit the crime clears Oliver, who, by now actually ill, faints in the courtroom. Mr Brownlow takes Oli ver home and, along with his housekeeper Mrs Bedwin, cares for him. 12.5 pt / 15 pt
The mysterious man Monks plots with Fagin to destroy Oliver's reputation. Monks denounces Fagin's failure to turn Oliver into a criminal, and the two of them aree on a plan to make sure he does not find out about his past. Monks is apprently related to Oliver in some way. Back in Oliver's hometown, Mr Bble has mried Mrs Corney, the matron of the workhouse where the story first bgan, only to find himself in an unhappy marriage, constantly arguing with his domineering wife. After one such argument, Mr Bumble walks to a pub where he meets Monks, who questions him about Oliver. Bumble informs Monks that he knows smene who can give Monks more information for a price, and later Monks meets scrly with the Bumbles. After Mrs Bumble tells Monks all she knows for a price, Monks takes the locket and ring proving Oliver's parents, which had once bged to Oliver's mother, and drops them into the river flowing under his place. 11 pt / 13.2 pt Fagin angrily passes the information on to Sikes, twisting the story to make it sound as if Nancy had informed on him, when she had not. Belving Nancy to be a traitor, Sikes beats her to death in a fit of rage that very night and flees to the countryside to escape from the police and his csce. There, Sikes is haunted by visions of Nancy and alarmed by news of her murder spreading across the countryside. He returns to London to find a hiding place and intends to steal money from Fagin and flee to France. 10 pt / 12 pt

Et pastores erant in regione eadem vgltes et custodientes vigilias ntis supra gregem Et ecce angelus Domini stetit iuxta ilos et clrtas Dei circumfulsit illos et timuerunt timore . Nolite timere! Ecce enim evangelizo vobis gdum magnum, quod erit omni ppulo et pnis eum invol vit et reclinvit eum in prspio quia non erat eis locus in divesrio. Et pastores erant in regio ne eadem vgltes et custodientes vigilias ntis su pra grgem. Et angelus: Nolite timere! Ecce enim ezvo mnum, quod erit omni populo. Quia natus est vobis hodie salvator, qui est Christus Domi nus in civitate David. Advenerunt ministri ac to ralia praeposuerunt toris, in quibus retia erant picta vena toresque cum veblis et totus vena tionis apparatus. Nobis porcus videbatur esse quam paulo ante appa ruerat. Deinde magis magis que Trimalchio intuens eum 'Quid? Quid?', inquit, 'Porcus hic non est exinteratus? Non mehercu les est. Iterum fcrit, nemo ntrum pro illo rogabit'.
Pater noster, qui es in caelis: Sanctificetur no men tuum, Adveniat regnum tuum, Fiat vo luntastua, Sicut in caelo, et in terra. Panem nos trum cottidianum da nobis Et dimitte nobis de bita nostra, Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostriEt ne nos inducas in tentationem. Amen Maria autem conservabat omnia verba haec conferens in corde suo. Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes et lates Deum in omni bus, quae adrant et viderant sicut dictum est ad illos. Voca, voca cocum in medio!' Cum constit set ad mensam cocus tristis et diceret se obli tum esse exinterare, 'Quid? Oblitus?', iterum fcrit, nemo ntrum pro illo rogabit'. nobis por cus videbatur esse quam paulo ante apparuerat. Deinde magis magisque Trimalchio intuens eum 'Quid? Quid?', inquit, 'Porcus hic non est exinte ratus? Non mehercules est. Mirari nos celerita tem coepimus et iurare ne gallum quidem tam cito percoqui potuisse, tanto quidem magis, 11pt / 13,2pt
Nescimus adhuc, quo mitteremus suspicio nes nostras, cum ex tra triclinium clamor sublatus est ingens, ecce canes Laconici etiam cica mensam discurrre co. eperunt. Secutum est hos repo. 11pt / 13,2pt
