Quote #1

There had been a time when honor meant something at the Colgan School. (1.4)

Private schools are a place where reputation is practically a form of currency. (Like Hogwarts but without the magic. Reputation is your magic.) You'd think Kat would have fit in better here, but she was trying to keep a low profile at the time—on account of her family being a family of thieves and all.

Quote #2

"All who wish to seek justice shall find the truth. Honor for one [...] Honor for all." (1.23)

The Colgan School motto eerily resembles a thieving code… if Kat and her friends were dramatic enough to recite a thieving code before a job, which they're not.

Quote #3

[Kat had] been framed. And Kat didn't dare say what she was thinking: that whoever had done it, they were very, very good. (1.74)

We get the feeling here that Kat is torn between being angry at having the synthetic wool pulled over her eyes and having respect for the skill of the person who did it. We're erring on the side of "respect," actually.
