The cab stopped in front of a neat little house on a quiet street. A bed was immediately prepared for Oliver, and Mr. Brownlow himself carefully watched that he was gently laid to bed.

These were happy days for Oliver – days of recovery. Everything was so peaceful, clean, and neat, and everyone was so kind and gentle that it was like being in paradise. As soon as the boy was strong enough, Mr Brownlow ordered to buy him a new suit, a new hat, and new shoes. When Oliver was told that he could decide what to do with his old clothes, he became excited thinking that he would never have to wear those things again.

One evening, Oliver knocked on the door of Mr. Brownlow's study. When he was invited in, he found himself in a small room filled with books. Mr. Brownlow was sitting at a desk by the window, reading. Oliver wondered where one could find people who had read so many books — books that seemed to be written to make humans wiser.

'That's a lot of books, isn't it, my boy?' Mr Brownlow asked.

'Many indeed, sir,' answered Oliver. 'I have never seen so many.'

'You will read them if you behave yourself,' said the old gentleman with a smile. 'Would you like to grow up to be clever and write books?'

'I think I'd prefer to read them, sir,' Oliver answered.

'What! You wouldn't like to write books?' asked the old gentleman.

Oliver thought for a moment, then said that perhaps it would be much better to sell books. The old gentleman laughed and said it was a good idea he had. Oliver was glad, though he had no idea what was good about it.

'Excellent!' said the old gentleman. 'Don't worry! We won't make a writer out of you as long as there's a chance for you to learn some other honest job.'

'Thank you, sir,' said Oliver.

'And now, my boy,' Mr. Brownlow continued, his face became very serious, 'Listen carefully to what I am going to say.'

'Oh, please, sir, don't tell me you're planning to send me away!' cried Oliver.

'My dear child,' said the old gentleman, 'you have nothing to fear. I will never leave you unless you give me a reason to...'
