Success

Making it look easy

You move through the crowd when the market is at its busiest, and much later when the costermongers yawn and rub their bristly chins. Your fingers are fast and you soon fill your burlap sack with little furry morsels.

Failure

Too much of a good thing

You're well known here. The costermongers aren't expecting you to pilfer from their stalls, but they watch you with an uneasy respect. The crowds part as you pass. Which is inconvenient.
