Success

A gummy smile and a "thank you, my dear"

She hoists herself into the cab. She's quite spry, actually. Have you been bilked? Never mind. She is old. And it is cold. And you've pocketed a string of cheap moon-pearls. The cab rattles off into the darkness.


Failure

A gummy smile that disappears abruptly

"Thief!" she bellows. Old or not, there's quite a pair of lungs on to her. You fade into the shadows as the police-whistles begin to blow.
