    It took a long time for Oliver to get better after his illness, but the loving hands of Rose, Mrs.

    Maylie and the doctor, brought Oliver through the hard time in the end.

    When Oliver was well enough , the doctor offered to take him to visit the gentleman, Mr. Brownlow.

    "I remember how highly you spoke of Mr. Brownlow and how much you wished to explain to what happened to you that day you didn't return," said the doctor.

    "Oh, sir, that would make me so happy!" exclaimed Oliver.

    However, when they arrived at Mr. Brownlow's house, they got a piece of sad news from one of his neighbors.

    "Mr. Brownlow all of his things and gone abroad. He is with his servants and a friend now," said the neighbor.

    This was a terrible disappointment to Oliver. He not only wished to clear his name but

    wished to show the doctor that his story was true.

    Oliver thought up another man, the bookstore , who knew the whole story. Oliver suggested they go and see him.

    "No, Oliver," said the doctor, "We've had enough disappointment for one day. Let's head back home."

    And so they turned back.

    Happily, Oliver's story as the truth by his new friends completely. And they treated him with as much love and care as if he was their own child.

    They spent much of the spring in the countryside. The peace and quiet were something

     Oliver had never experienced before. Here was nothing to fear, no drunk, angry men; no thieves; only his true care and company. In the mornings, he studied reading and writing with an elderly gentleman who lived nearby. In the afternoons, he walked the forest and fields with Rose and listened to her read books aloud. At night, he did his homework, and read passages from the Bible. And on Sundays he went to church and prayed and sang with his heart.

    As a result, this period became the part of the boy's life so far.
