The last chance - Bill Sikes and Bull's Eye, c1838-46. After beating Nancy to death, Sikes tries to escape over the rooftops by swinging on a rope, but while he is about to loop the rope about himself a vision of the dead Nancy's staring eyes terrorises him into losing his balance; in the fall, the looped rope catches him around the neck and hangs him. Page 492 of "The Adventures of Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens, originally published as a serial from 1837 to 1839.
