I probably won't touch Smalltalk.  There are many ways of
doing objects and I like the CLOS "generic function" approach
better than Smalltalk's.  

Dylan is a Scheme-like language designed by Apple's Cambridge
research group as a small, very compilable, LISP-derived language
but with objects "from the ground up".  That is, smoothly 
integrated.  The book is free from Apple, write to
dylan-comments@cambridge.apple.com; there will be a few
commercially available implementations Real Soon Now.
Dec Research did a Dylan->Scheme compiler for free,
