Oliver Twist — Chapter 28 in French

By Charles Dickens

Veille sur Oliver et poursuit ses aventures. Looks after Oliver, and proceeds with his adventures.
« Les loups vous déchirent les gorges ! » "Wolves tear your throats!" murmura Sikes en grinçant des dents ; je voudrais bien vous tenir, les uns ou les autres, je vous ferais hurler encore plus fort. muttered Sikes, grinding his teeth. "I wish I was among some of you; you'd howl the hoarser for it."
En proférant ces imprécations avec toute la fureur que comportait sa nature féroce, il posa sur son genou l’enfant blessé, et tourna un instant la tête pour voir s’il apercevait ceux qui le poursuivaient. As Sikes growled forth this imprecation with the most desperate ferocity that his desperate nature was capable of, he rested the body of the wounded boy across his bended knee, and turned his head for an instant to look back at his pursuers.
Il n’y avait pas moyen, au milieu du brouillard et des ténèbres ; mais de tous côtés retentissaient les cris des hommes, les aboiements des chiens, les tintements de la cloche d’alarme. There was little to be made out in the mist and darkness; but the loud shouting of men vibrated through the air, and the barking of the neighbouring dogs, roused by the sound of the alarm-bell, resounded in every direction.
