Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England, in 1812. His ...

weak. He saw the country house, knocked at the
door and then fell to the ground.
When Mr Giles and Mr Brittles opened the door
they saw the blood on Oliver clothes. They
immediately understood he was the thief they
had shot at and called Mrs Maylie, the owner of
the house. She decided to help him and called
the doctor. Then the two men took the boy
upstairs, in Mrs Maylie’s bedroom. When Dr
Losberne arrived, he told the ladies that Oliver
was in terrible conditions.
In the evening Oliver woke up, after a long
sleep. He told everybody the story of his life; he
also told them about kind Mr Brownlow. He
spoke slowly and softly because he had high
temperature and remained ill for a very long
time.
Little by little, Oliver got better and after three
months was very happy, and became very strong
and healthy.
One day he was sitting at his desk when he saw
two men at the window, Fagin and a strange
man with an angry face, Monks, staring at him.
