From Chapter Five of 'Carter the Cabman'...

'We would like to hear if the witness knows if Miss Nichols had any enemies?'
'I know of no-one who would have wanted to hurt Mary,' I replied.
'Do you have enemies, Mr Carter?' the coroner asked me.
'Does not every man?' I said.

From Chapter Eight of 'Carter the Cabman'...

'Her clothes are old and dirty and the rain that flattens her hair has not been sent to cleanse or baptize her - just as he who stalks and kills her kind has not yet been baptized.'

From Chapter Four of 'Carter the Cabman'...
'Better, you might say, to turn a blind eye and in doing so at least deprive the culprit of the satisfaction of acclaim...but it is not so easy to look away from the bodies being carted off the streets or death notices of the defiled.'
