Finally, there are Solomon's references to a fellow Jew he traveled with around Europe avoiding murder, whose zeal for equality of class he quite admired. He was a young man named Karl. A younger Dodger once disguised himself as a flower girl to get the drop on a particularly nasty creep who was preying on the younger girls. He, unsurprisingly, gets what he thoroughly deserves.CHAPTER 1: In which we meet out hero, and the hero meets an orphan of the storm and comes face to face with Mister Charlie; a gentleman known as a bit of a scribbler. Dodger is obviously named after the Artful Dodger from Oliver Twist. His being assigned a random name by the orphanage may be intended as a reference to the title character. Defiant Captive: Simplicity did not make things easy for her kidnappers. The only reason Dodger is able to save her in the first place is because she managed to get out of the carriage, and that wasn't even the first time she'd done it.
