“But one good thing had come out of it: The people of Peripatetiapolis were quite glad to accept Tom's London money. On an impulse he bought a red silk shawl to replace the scarf that Hester had lost on that long-ago night when he'd chased her through the Gut.
‘For me?' she said incredulously when he gave it to her. She couldn't remember anyone ever giving her a gift before. She had not spoken to him much since they'd left the Black Island, ashamed of her outburst the night before, but now she said, ‘Thank you. And I suppose I should thank you for saving my life too. Though I don't know why you keep bothering'" (Reeve Mortal Engines 263).
