Oliver Twist

CHAPTER IX
9/11

When this game had been played a great many times, a couple of young ladies called to see the young gentleman; one of whom was named Bet, and the other Nancy.

They wore a good deal of hair, not very neatly turned up behind, and were rather untidy about the shoes and stockings.
