Oliver Twist Chapter 15

In which we find ourselves amid sordid haunts where a fierce quarrel bursts forth between a rugged man and his dog, soon interrupted by a cautious visitor bearing clandestine gold, whilst a fateful encounter reunites a young woman with the boy Oliver, leading to scenes of rough accusations and harsh treatment in a neighbourhood darkened by neglect. The chapter paints a vivid tableau of unspeakable hardship interlaced with faint glimmers of affection, all under the watchful yet helpless gaze of those hoping for the boy's safety.
