Lashin’ Techs by Courttia Newland

It was all so smooth. Travis and Mikey spotted the handbag dangling from
the women's shoulder like a pendant - loose, unheeded, yet valued.
Mikey pointed this out to Stern, who confirmed she was the one.

They followed her up Kensington High street in a tight v formation, rubbing their hands

together; this would be easy.
From behind, they could see the woman was white, and quite old, though not too old. None of
them wanted a heart attack victim on their hands.
Travis always wondered if Stern, being mixed-race, felt a way that all their victims were white,

but he'd never had the balls to ask outright.

Judging by his friend's actions, he didn't give a toss, and neither did they.

No more time for idle thoughts. They nodded at each other.

Stern made the move, quick as a greyhound. One quick tug and she was on the floor.
Another and the strap broke with a thin crack. They ran as fast as they could, until her voice
penetrated Stern's ears.
It stopped him as surely as a brick wall, while the others fled.
"Nicholas? Nicholas that can't be you, can it?" she cried from the floor.

Stern turned around to face her and dropped the bag. Ice cold fear dissolved in his belly. He

managed to utter one word before some hero rushed in.

"Gran?"

Extract from Oliver Twist

Task: Annotate the text to gain an understanding of the thoughts and
feelings of the protagonist.

London!—that great place!—nobody—not even Mr. Bumble—could ever find
him there! He had often heard the old men in the workhouse, too, say that no lad
of spirit need want in London; and that there were ways of living in that vast city,
which those who had been bred up in country parts had no idea of. It was the very
place for a homeless boy, who must die in the streets unless some one helped him.
As these things passed through his thoughts, he jumped upon his feet, and again
walked forward.
He had diminished the distance between himself and London by full four miles
more, before he recollected how much he must undergo ere he could hope to
reach his place of destination. As this consideration forced itself upon him, he
slackened his pace a little, and meditated upon his means of getting there. He had
a crust of bread, a coarse shirt, and two pairs of stockings, in his bundle. He had a
penny too—a gift of Sowerberry’s after some funeral in which he had acquitted
himself more than ordinarily well—in his pocket. ‘A clean shirt,’ thought Oliver,
‘is a very comfortable thing; and so are two pairs of darned stockings; and so is a
penny; but they are small helps to a sixty-five miles’ walk in winter time.’ But
Oliver’s thoughts, like those of most other people, although they were extremely
ready and active to point out his difficulties, were wholly at a loss to suggest any
feasible mode of surmounting them; so, after a good deal of thinking to no
particular purpose, he changed his little bundle over to the other shoulder, and
trudged on.
Oliver walked twenty miles that day; and all that time tasted nothing but the crust
of dry bread, and a few draughts of water, which he begged at the cottage-doors
by the road-side. When the night came, he turned into a meadow; and, creeping
close under a hay-rick, determined to lie there, till morning. He felt frightened at
first, for the wind than he had ever felt before. Being very tired with his walk,
however, he soon fell asleep and forgot his troubles.
He felt cold and stiff, when he got up next morning, and so hungry that he was
obliged to exchange the penny for a small loaf, in the very first village through
which he passed. He had walked no more than twelve miles, when night closed in
again. His feet were sore, and his legs so weak that they trembled beneath him.
Another night passed in the bleak damp air, made him worse; when he set forward
on his journey next morning he could hardly crawl along.
He waited at the bottom of a steep hill till a stage-coach came up, and then begged
of the outside passengers; but there were very few who took any notice of him:
and even those told him to wait till they got to the top of the hill, and then let
them see how far he could run for a halfpenny. Poor Oliver tried to keep up with
the coach a little way, but was unable to do it, by reason of his fatigue and sore
feet. When the outsides saw this, they put their halfpence back into their pockets
again, declaring that he was an idle young dog, and didn’t deserve anything; and
the coach rattled away and left only a cloud of dust behind.
In some villages, large painted boards were fixed up: warning all persons who
begged within the district, that they would be sent to jail. This frightened Oliver
very much, and made him glad to get out of those villages with all possible
expedition. In others, he would stand about the inn-yards, and look mournfully at
every one who passed: a proceeding which generally terminated in the landlady’s
ordering one of the post-boys who were lounging about, to drive that strange boy
out of the place, for she was sure he had come to steal something. If he begged at
a farmer’s house, ten to one but they threatened to set the dog on him; and when
he showed his nose in a shop, they talked about the beadle—which brought
Oliver’s heart into his mouth,—very often the only thing he had there, for many
hours together.
In fact, if it had not been for a good-hearted turnpike-man, and a benevolent old
lady, Oliver’s troubles would have been shortened by the very same process
which had put an end to his mother’s; in other words, he would most assuredly
have fallen dead upon the king’s highway. But the turnpike-man gave him a meal
of bread and cheese; and the old lady, who had a shipwrecked grandson
wandering barefoot in some distant part of the earth, took pity upon the poor
orphan, and gave him what little she could afford—and more—with such kind
and gentle words, and such tears of sympathy and compassion, that they sank
deeper into Oliver’s soul, than all the sufferings he had ever undergone.
Early on the seventh morning after he had left his native place, Oliver limped
slowly into the little town of Barnet. The window-shutters were closed; the street
was empty; not a soul had awakened to the business of the day. The sun was
rising in all its splendid beauty; but the light only served to show the boy his own
lonesomeness and desolation, as he sat, with bleeding feet and covered with dust,
upon a door-step.
