Partie I
1 Among other buildings in a town in England, there
was a house for poor people who had no money and
nowhere to live. This was called the workhouse.
Oliver Twist was born in the workhouse. His mother, a
5 young woman, lay ill in bed. A doctor and an old woman
stood by her side. She lifted her head from the pillow.
[...] The doctor put the child in her arms. She pressed
her cold white lips to its face, and then fell back.
« She is dead » said the doctor.
10 [...] The doctor raised the dead woman's left hand.
« The usual story, » he said. « I see that she has no ring
on her finger. She wasn't married. Good night! »
He went home to his dinner. The old woman sat down
on a chair in front of the fire and began to dress the
15 baby. She dressed him in the very old clothes used for
babies who were born in the workhouse. The child was
an orphan, born into a world which had no love or pity
for him.
No one was able to discover who the baby's father
20 was, or what his mother's name was. Mr Bumble, an
important officier in the town, invented a name for the
baby. He chose the name Oliver Twist.
« We name the new babies here in order from A to
Z, » he explained when people asked. « I names the last
25 one Swubble. This one is Twist. The next one will be
Unwin.
Partie II
At the age of nine, Oliver
was a pale, thin child. He
and the other workhouse
boys never had enough
warm clothes or food.
They were given only
three meals of thin soup
every day. On Sundays
they had a small piece of
bread.
37 They were fed in a big hall. A large pot stood at one
end of the room, and the soup was served by the master.
Each boy had one small bowl of soup and no more. The
40 bowls never needed washing, because the boys cleaned
them with their spoons until they shone.
One day, Oliver and his friends decided that one boy
would walk up to the master after supper and ask for
more soup. Oliver was chosen.
45 In the evening, the boys sat down at the tables. The
master stood by the pot, and the soup was served. It
disappeared quickly. The boys whispered and made
signs to Oliver. He stood up form the table and went to
the master, with his bowl and his
50 spoon in his hands.
« Please, sir, » he said, « I want
some more. »
The master ws a fat, healthy
man, but he went very pale. He
55 looked with surprise at the small boy.
« What? » said the master at last in a quiet voice.
« Please, sir; » repeated Oliver, « I want some more. »
The master hit Oliver with his spoon, then seized him
and cried for help. Mr Bumble rushed into the room,
60 and the master told him what Oliver had said.
« He asked for more? » Mr
Bumble cried. « I cannot
believe it. One day they
will hang the boy »
He took Oliver away and shut him in a dark
room. The next morning
a notice appeared on the workhouse gate. Five
pounds were offered to
71 anybody who would take Oliver Twist.
Oliver was a prisoner in that cold, dark room for a
whole week. Every morning he was taken outside to
wash, and Mr Bumble beat him with a stick. [...] He
75 cried all day. When night came he tried to sleep, but he
was cold, lonely and frightened.
But one day, outside the high workhouse gate, Mr
Bumble met Mr Sowerberry. Mr Sowerberry was a tall,
thin man ho wore black clothes and made coffins.
80 Many of this coffins were for the poor people who died
in the workhouse.
« I have prepared the coffins for the two women who
died last night » he said to Mr Bumble.
« Good, » said Mr Bumble. « You will be rich one day,
85 Mr Sowerberry!Do you know anybody who wants a
boy? And five pounds? » He raised his stick and pointed
to the notice on the gate.
