   He gave you a couple of hints, and so did my post.  The reference is   
   to Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist".  Oliver asks for more:   
   ----------------------------------------------------------------   
   ------------------   
   "... Oliver; while his next neighbours nudged him. Child as he was, he   
   was desperate with hunger, and reckless with misery. He rose from the   
   table; and advancing to the master, basin and spoon in hand, said:   
   somewhat alarmed at his own temerity:   
      
   'Please, sir, I want some more.' "   
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
