Oliver. Mrs Maylie wanted to ask Mr Brownlow
for help. So she went to him and told him about
Nancy’s secret. On Sunday night Mr Brownlow
and Mrs Maylie went to London Bridge. Nancy
arrived too. She told them where they could find
Monks and what he looked like, but did not
betray Fagin and Sikes, because she loved him.
Unfortunately, Fagin understood Nancy was
planning something to help Oliver and so asked
one of his boys to follow her. When Fagin was
told about the secret meeting he got furious.
Also Sikes got furious and killed poor Nancy. The

Monks was, went to him and obliged him to sign
a piece of paper which told the truth about Oliver
and his father’s will: Monks was Oliver’s halfbrother.

husband. Monks’s father had met and loved a
sweet girl, Agnes. His dad had made a will in
favour of Agnes and her child Oliver, but Monks’s
mum had found the will and destroyed it. That’s
why Monks had thrown the ring into the river.
