She didn't mean to steal the cloth; she just wanted to get a better look at it in the light. Of course, being dressed as vagrants made the owner think they were trying to steal it. Thanks for reading my review and commenting!

It was still an interesting book. I hope you get a chance to read it!

This is how Britain colonized Australia. It was quite common.
You are so right, but I didn't realize it before reading the book either.

The story appears interesting to me. Thanks for your nice review.
I think that kind of friendship was unusual. I hope you get to read it. Thanks for the comments!
