Seditionaries Oliver Twist

Steve: What's this book I've
   just nicked from Foyles,
   Malcolm?
Malcolm: Ahh, Oliver Twist
   by Charles Dickens,
   illustrations by
   Cruikshank. A classic.
Steve: I like this picture
   here.
Malcolm: Yes, I rather fancy
   myself as a Fagin figure
   and you're definitely The
   Artful Dodger, Steve.
Steve: And there's Paul in
   the front and that's
   Rotten at the back ha,ha.
Malcolm: I've an idea. Write
   this down, Steve.
Steve: But you know I can't
   write, Malcolm.
Malcolm: Time to learn.
   "They are Dickensian like
   urchins..."
Three hours later...
Steve: Not bad eh? Only a
   couple of mistakes.
Malcolm: Look what you've
   done to my Parker
   fountain pen! That's
   coming out of your wages,
   that is.
