Quote #1
Finally, when Great-Grandmother Murphy died, everyone learned she had been a petty thief. Her bedroom chest was stuffed with piecegoods: ladies' kid gloves, ribbons, lengths of silk and spools of lace. In all her years of stealing she had never been stopped. (1.317)
Every time David's great-grandmother stole something from the dry-goods store (that's what they had in the olden days before Target), the shop owner would call her husband, who would come pay the bill. Not only did nobody else know she was stealing, she herself didn't know her husband was subsidizing it.
