mr brownlow he was very kind to me when

nancy was waiting for them mr brownlow
ms nancy is it yes
you had something to tell us about
oliver twist yes there is a man called
mr monks who is determined to turn
oliver into a thief

oliver's parents and had gone to the
orphanage in mudford to find out about
him he was looking for some kind of a
locket

the orphanage and also had mr monks come
to his office
so was there a locket on oliver's person
when he was given to you as a baby
yes sir here it is
agnes
so i was right
oliver is my friend agnes son

men like you who steal from children
cannot be trusted you are no longer the
beatle for mudford and i shall have you

why did you want oliver to become a
thief
because he is my younger brother and my
father had said that if any of us
brothers did anything against the law

become a thief so that you could keep
his money shame on you monks by doing

passed on to oliver take him away
ms rose oliver is your sister agnes son
