Chapter 4: Narrate the short meeting of Oliver and Dick.

When Oliver stops his escape to visit Dick, he is there to say goodbye. He knows that he will never see his friend again, but that doesn't stop him from stopping for his last farewell. Dick, in turn, tells Oliver that he mustn't stop... that he must move on. He also shares his dreams of heaven and blesses Oliver upon his departure... Oliver's first blessing.

'Yes, yes, I will, to say good-b'ye to you,' replied Oliver. 'I shall see you again, Dick. I know I shall! You will be well and happy!'

'I hope so,' replied the child. 'After I am dead, but not before. I know the doctor must be right, Oliver, because I dream so much of Heaven, and Angels, and kind faces that I never see when I am awake. Kiss me,' said the child, climbing up the low gate, and flinging his little arms round Oliver's neck. 'Good-b'ye, dear! God bless you!'

The blessing was from a young child's lips, but it was the first that Oliver had ever heard invoked upon his head; and through the struggles and sufferings, and troubles and changes, of his after life, he never once forgot it.
