The answer: 1.“再见，亲爱的！上帝保佑你！”……迪克跟奥利弗去伦敦的路上，这温暖奥利弗的心，给了他勇气。

 2. 奥利弗就这样被留下了，由那位醉醺醺的看护一个人看着。他光着身子，裹在毕生第一块毯子里，既可以是国王的儿子，也可以是乞丐的儿子。

3. 可后来老妇人给他穿上了由于年头太久而发了黄的粗棉布衣服，这时，他看上去和他的身份完全一致了——一个济贫院的孤儿，准备好了去过一种充满

苦难、饥饿和忽视的生活。

4. “她是昨天夜里被送到这儿来的。”老妇人回答道。“她倒在马路上，被人发现了。她脚上那双鞋子已经磨得破破烂烂的了，由此可以看出她是从很远的地方来的。她从哪儿来，要到哪儿去，叫什么名字， 没人知道。”
