1 'No, she won't, Fagin,' said Nancy.
2 'I wonder whether THEY can hear it,' said Nancy.
3 Eight o clock, Bill, said Nancy, when the bell ceased.
4 He held out his hand, which Nancy clasped tight in hers.
5 'No, I won't do that, neither,' replied Nancy, speaking very loud.
6 Nancy stooped below the shutters, and Oliver heard the sound of a bell.
7 'That it won't do; so it's no use a-trying it on, Fagin,' replied Nancy.
8 Turning to Oliver, he roughly commanded him to take hold of Nancy's hand.
9 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.
