2 Whatever was the cause, the effect was a kick and a curse, bestowed upon the dog simultaneously.
3 I hope I may have good cause to do so,' replied Mr. Losberne; 'though I confess I don't think I shall.
4 He is the master of this establishment; his death will cause a wacancy; that wacancy must be filled up.
5 Any sound of men in that lonely place, even though it conveyed a real cause of alarm, was something to him.
6 She was bouncing away, when a cry from the two women, who had turned towards the bed, caused her to look round.
7 Oliver started too, though from a very different cause; for he hoped that the dispute might really end in his being taken back.
8 Oliver knew not the cause of this sudden exclamation; for, not being strong enough to bear the start it gave him, he fainted away.
9 These two causes made him answer in a very low and hesitating voice; whereupon a gentleman in a white waistcoat said he was a fool.
10 He was no sooner strong enough to put his clothes on, properly, than Mr. Brownlow caused a complete new suit, and a new cap, and a new pair of shoes, to be provided for him.
11 It is not necessary to make any guesses on the subject, however; for the sudden entrance of the two young ladies whom Oliver had seen on a former occasion, caused the conversation to flow afresh.
