Quote #10
"The chambers of Mynheer Bloomsa and servants," declared Las Bombas when the landlord finally appeared. "You have my message reserving them." (8.3)
When putting on the guise of Mynheer Bloomsa, Las Bombas chooses to engage in deception, both with those he cons and those who might trick him. In this particular instance, he gets conned by someone smarter—though he proclaims that Skeit, who tricks him, is a thief, of course the reality is that Skeit just beats him in his own game.
