As in many another land, it pays to be a white man in Mexico. Stealing is rarely a virtue. But it was not hard to put oneself in the place of these wretches and catch their point of view that made such thievery justifiable.
Thus, in a way, Peter's surroundings began a subtle explanation of and apology for Cissie, the whole racial training of black folk in petty thievery. And that this should have touched Cissie the meanness, the pathos of her fate moved Peter.
I'll have none of this chargin' me to thievery out of the mouth of one of my childer I'll have none of it!" "Maybe you've got a better name for it you and old man Reid!" Joan scorned, her face still white with the cold, deep anger of her wrong. "I'll tame you, or I'll break your heart!" said Tim, doubly angry because the charge she made struck deep.
Owing to the preparations that were going on for this festivity, the lounge, with its sumptuous Egyptian decorations and luxurious modern fittings, was well-nigh deserted save for Sir Chetwynd and his particular group of friends, to whom he was holding forth, between slow cigar-puffs, on the squalor of the Arabs, the frightful thievery of the Sheiks, the incompetency of his own special dragoman, and the mistake people made in thinking the Egyptians themselves a fine race.
His diet is either fasting or poor fare, his clothing the hangman's wardrobe, his house the receptacle of thievery, and his music the clinking of his money. He is a kind of cancer that with the teeth of interest eats the hearts of the poor, and a venomous fly that sucks out the blood of any flesh that he lights on.

"I wanta be square," he cried passionately, "I wanta be square like you've been to us, an' an Luke said ye might not want a jail-bird here for Christmas. I stole coal for mom " It was the old tale, one boy caught, paying for the petty thievery of the score who ran away. The Doctor heard the mumbled tale to the end and cleared his throat. "And so," he said slowly, "you wanted to be square.
After treatment with a new serum the patient was relieved of the hydrophobic symptoms, but to my horror this mild-mannered, humane man seems possessed at times of all the characteristics of the brutal anthropoid cunning, thievery, brutality. I do not know what may come of this. I hesitate to put even these words on to paper.
In his first memory of his existence, a little deformed creature rolling about on the littered floor of her uncleanly hovel, he had trembled at the sound of her voice and had obeyed it like a beaten spaniel puppy. When he had grown older he had seen that she lived upon alms and thievery and witchlike evil doings that made all decent folk avoid her.
What is Margaret but the daughter of a plain human being of a father, a little richer than mine and so a little nearer opportunities for education? The claims to superiority of some of the titled people on the other side are silly enough when one examines them the records of knavery and thievery and illegitimacy and insanity. But similar claims over here are laughable at a glance.
