Intonation
"Take... care... of... him." The
young mother's whisper was as
soft as the swirling snow
outside; her face as white as
the sheet that covered her.
Feebly she touched her
newborn son, breathed a last
sigh, and closed her eyes.

14. Oliver looked around the
shadowy room. It was stacked
with empty coffins and planks of
wood. Drapes of black cloth
hung from hooks in the walls,
billowing occasionally in the
breeze, as though first they
breathed... and then were
lifeless. The only place to sleep -
a recess behind the coffins
where a thin mattress was
thrust - looked like a grave.

15. "And this is Noah, my apprentice," Mr. Sowerberry went on, taking
him to the kitchen. "Noah, give Oliver his supper."
Noah looked cross. "What work is he going to do?" he asked,
sulkily.
"He'll be a mute. He's a good-looking boy. Dressed in a top hat
and mourning clothes, he'll be a credit to the business."
"Please sir, what's a mute?" asked Oliver.
"A mute walks next to the coffin at funerals and follows it to the
grave. Children's funerals only. Winter's coming on the sickly season.
Always lots of children's funerals this time of year..."
Noah grinned unpleasantly when Mr. Sowerberry left them alone.
"Here's your food." He handed Oliver the dog's bowl. Stuck to the
side were some stinking scraps of cold fat the dog had rejected.
Oliver was so hungry, he wolfed them down.
“Pig!” Mocked Noah.
