Best Answer

Oliver walked from the coffin maker's house for seven days on the king's highway (he had to beg to get food) until he came to the town of Barnet.Too tired to beg or continue, he sits by the side of the road until he is found by Jack Dawkins, or the Artful Dodger. The Dodger invites him vaguely to come to "a gentleman's house" who would feed and provide shelter for Oliver. Oliver agrees, and they travel the entire day on the highway and through a squalid neighborhood to Fagin's house. So altogether- eight days.
