She was the daughter of a retired crook, and it had never occurred to him that crooks had daughters, or if they were so blessed he had assumed that they were defectives, turned over for rearing to disagreeable public institutions. The Governor had said that they were to spend a day or two at Walker's but Archie was now hoping that he would prolong the visit.
Much of it wasn't true, but a girl who's been brought up by the Cruelty doesn't have to be told what's true and what's false. I've met these people and lived with them as one does who thinks the same thoughts and feels what others feel. I know the world now, Tom Dorgan, the real world of men and women not the little world of crooks, nor yet the littler one of fairy stories.
There he remained only a few months; for his master using him badly, the high-spirited youth would not brook it, and ran away, taking refuge with his mother at The Crooks, very much to her dismay. What was now to be done with Tom? He was willing to do anything or go anywhere rather than back to his Lochmaben master.
Least-wise they won't have to look far if he doesn't come across," and Dopey Charlie looked meaningly and steadily at the side pockets of The Oskaloosa Kid.

Those two crooks of yours, Pete and Nick, were in this morning, and I heard 'em talkin'. Then I got 'em yarning to me. They've got every move Fyles is making dead right. They're smartish guys, and I feel they're too smart for you by a sight. If things go their way you're safe. If there's a chance of trouble for them you're up against it."
