'ello! Me name's Jack Dawkins, but youse may all call me The Artful Dodger. *tips his overly large hat* I's an orphan, offic'ly, but I's a member of me ol' pal Fagin's gang in London. An' one'a th' best, 'ccording to most everyone. Better'n that ol' Charley, at any rate. Or Nolly Twist. I 'ear some bloke called Charles Dickens 'as gone and writ a book named after Oliver an' put me an' Fagin an' the rest o' th' gang in. Last I recall, I was in for nabbin' a snuff box, an' now I's 'ere. Looks like there's plenty'a rich folks 'ere. *grins* I fink I'll be makin' myself right at 'ome. *bows and scoops up his hat when it falls off*
