She demanded that I should steal something every day, and if I didn't she beat me.

I got up early one morning and robbed _her_.

I took a handful of money out of her drawer and ran away.

But in the street a horror seized me, and I threw the money in the gutter and fled from it.

Don't you see that I was born a thief?
But I have striven so hard since then to be an honorable man.
