Honor Among Thieves
With no particular relevance to the thieves in the misAdministration:
I was hidden in the roof of a house one evening, waiting for an opportunity to slip in and steal something. I had seen the man of the house ride away at sunset, and I expected that his wife would soon go to bed, when I would be able to ransack most of the rooms. ‘Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door. The woman admitted her lover and sat him at a table on which she soon arranged all manner of luscious dishes. ‘They were about to partake of this elegant meal, when they heard the trumpet of the husband’s outrider announce his unexpected return. The woman, in a panic, pushed her lover into a large closet, and piled the viands onto shelves beside him, motioning him to stay silent until she could effect his safe release.Over at Anulios, read the rest of this satisfying tale of Lateef the Thief, entitled "The Magic Sack."
