Smith
Twelve-year-old Smith is suddenly on the run when a group of murderous thugs realize that he has stolen a document they desperately want. Smith, an illiterate boy who relies on his pickpocketing skills to survive on the streets of 18th-century London, doesn`t know what secrets the document holds. All he knows is that he is in mortal danger.

 Definition: 

The Hebrews were not permitted by the Philistines in the days of Samuel to have a smith amongst them, lest they should make them swords and spears (1 Sam. 13:19). Thus the Philistines sought to make their conquest permanent (comp. 2 Kings 24:16).
