All the band, including Bill Sikes the housebreaker, take part in the hunt, and the boy is eventually traced. A watch is kept on the house. After several weeks, when Oliver is well enough to walk, Mr. Brownlow determines to question him about his origin. He is curious about the boy because of a resemblance he bears to a piciure of a girl, Agnes, which hangs in the house. Just as ne is about to begin his questioning he is interrupted by an old friend, Mr. Grimwig, who expresses mistrust of Oliver.
