Oliver, being offered another Place, makes his first Entry into Public Life
I am hopeful that Oliver will soon be treated well even though I know it is unlikely! Maybe he'll get some money like Pip in Great Expectations (verrrrry boring book btw. Don't read it).
OH NO Dickens is talking about sending people to sea! I dearly hope that Oliver does not at all go to sea because the sea is horrible:
"...the skipper would either flog him to death, in a playful mood, some day after dinner, or knock his brains out with an iron bar..."Well, that was a satisfying dinner! I feel like playing a game now! Let's play WHIP ORPHANS TO DEATH!
No. Just no.
Mr Bumble goes out looking for a ship to dump Oliver on, but instead bumps into Mr Sowerberry, (is that pronounced sour-berry? These names are ridiculous), the undertaker (!). And it turns out Mr Sowerberry wants an apprentice. So Oliver goes to live with him.
AND HAS TO SLEEP WITH THE COFFINS!!!
Why is everything soooo horrible?
