摘要
Sikes turned round to where Noah was sleeping, as if he had notpreviously observed him. Well! he said, resuming his former position.
Suppose that lad, pursued Fagin, was to peach-to blow upon usall-first seeking out the right folks for the purpose, and then having ameeting with 'em in the street to paint our likenesses, describe every markthat they might know us by, and the crib where we might be most easilytaken. Suppose he was to do all this, and besides to blow upon a plant we'veall been in, more or less-of his own fancy; not grabbed, trapped, tried,earwigged by the parson, and brought to it on bread and water-but of hisown fancy, to please his own taste, stealing out at nights to find those mostinterested against us, and peaching to them.

What then! replied Sikes; with a tremendous oath. If he was left alivetill I came, I'd grind his skull under the iron heel of my boot into as manygrains as there are hairs upon his head.
What if I did it! cried Fagin almost in a yell. I, that know so much,and could hang so many besides myselfl
I don't know, replied Sikes, clenching his teeth and turning white atthe mere suggestion. I'd do something in the jail that 'ud get me put in irons;and if I was tried along with you, I'd fall upon you with them in the opencourt, and beat your brains out afore the people. I should have such strength,muttered the robber, poising his brawny arm, that I could smash your headas ifa loaded wagon had gone over it.
