32 Just in case the reader has managed – somehow – to overlook the point, Dickens underlines it with a heavy pencil. Locked up in a dark 36 The Widening World of Children’s Literature room, Oliver (again) cries ‘bitterly all day; and, when the long, dismal night came on, spread his little hands before his eyes to shut out the darkness, and crouching in his corner, tried to sleep: ever and anon waking with a start and a tremble’.
