Round 11: Tossup 20

This character is shot in the arm while helping Toby attempt a botched robbery. For calling his mother a “regular right-down bad ‘un”, Noah Claypole is beaten up by this character, (15[1]-5[1])leading to him being fired (-5[1])from an undertaker’s. This character is briefly cared for (15[1])by Rose Maylie, who is told of (15[1])his half-brother Monks’ plot to corrupt him (15[1])by (*) Nancy. After being taken in by a man whose handkerchief (10[1])he is framed for stealing, this character is kidnapped by Bill Sikes, who returns him to Fagin and the gang of pickpockets who take him in. For 10 points, what Dickens title character asks (10[1])“please sir, I want some more” gruel? ■END■
