The order was obeyed, and as Mr Brownlow turned to go down the street,
he saw Oliver lying on the pavement, shaking, his face as white as death.

这里的“as”引导的不是时间状语从句,而是一个时间状语。“as Mr Brownlow turned to go down the street”中“as”表示“当……时候”,但它后面接的“Mr Brownlow turned to go down the street”不是一个完整的句子结构作状语,只是一个带有时间意义的短语,用来描述“he saw Oliver...”这一动作发生的时间背景。如果是时间状语从句,“as”后面应该接一个完整的句子,例如“as Mr Brownlow was turning to go down the street”,这样就是一个完整的时间状语从句了,强调两个动作同时进行。
