The Thieves' Kitchen. Illustration by Harry Furniss for the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist.
The Thieves' Kitchen. Oliver is shown "How It Is Done". " The merry old gentleman and the two boys played a very curious and uncommon game, the two boys followed him closely about: getting out of his sight, so nimbly, every time he turned round, that it was impossible to follow their motions. If the old gentleman felt a hand in any one of his pockets, he cried out where it was: and then the game began all over again." Illustration by Harry Furniss for the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist, from The Testimonial Edition, published 1910.
