Quote #7
When [the guards] remembered the girl with the long legs and the short skirt who lay on the cold marble floor, she was too unconscious and too pretty for anyone at the Henley to stay made for long. (18.35)
Having a "babe" is a necessary part of any heist. It's the perfect way to exploit a weakness in the boys' club: a weakness for the opposite sex. And, as we see, Gabrielle uses her feminine charms to her advantage. She's cleverer than Kat thinks, in our opinion.
Quote #8
Amelia Bennet [...] was not the only woman [in Interpol]. And yet, in an agency that was in every way a part of the Old Boy network, it was impossible for anyone to look at her without first registering that was neither old nor boy. (21.1)
Amelia Bennett is pretty much Kat's adult counterpart, just on the other side of the law. Don't you think these two have a lot in common? Why would the author draw a parallel between these two characters, do you think?
Quote #9
"Take Angus and Hamis. Take Simon. [...] Take... Nick, if that's what you want." (29.31)
Hale is mad at Kat for taking Gabrielle, the only other female in the group, to meet Taccone. Now, go back and reread all of his suggestions. What do they have in common? Male anatomy. Is Hale right to suggest Kat needs to take a man with her for protection? Or is he just being overbearing, and maybe a little sexist?
