  “Why do you think Oliver's asking for more food in the...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  Oliver’s request triggered fierce backlash because workhouse authorities ran the institution on harsh starvation rations to save money. They saw his polite plea for more food as rebellious ingratitude that could inspire other orphans to demand better treatment, threatening their strict, cost-cutting management system, so they reacted extremely severely to deter further resistance.

  “How did Dr Losberne save Oliver from being arrested by the police” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  Dr Losberne lied to the police that Oliver was hurt by a spring-gun in a trespassing accident instead of the burglary. He made the two servants admit they could not definitely identify Oliver as the robber, and highlighted Oliver's poor physical condition to prove he was incapable of the crime. The police had no reliable proof and finally decided not to arrest Oliver.
