Wiggins looked closely at the gaunt little scarecrow in threadbare workhouse clothes.
‘So, Henry, if you wants to join my gang you have to prove yourself worthy.’

‘Him! Why, he’s a cripple. It’ll be easy to knock him over!’
‘Any thug can mug someone; you gotta to pick his pocket. And you gotta do it without his beaky friend in the hat noticing.’
