  • Hornung, E. W. "The Return Match", The Amateur Cracksman. 706. "I don't say much about my people, Bunny, but I have the best of sisters married to a country parson in the eastern counties. They always make me welcome, and let me read the lessons for the sake of getting me to church."
  • Hornung, E. W. "The Knees of the Gods", Raffles: Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman (also titled The Black Mask). 707
  • Hornung, E. W. "Gentlemen and Players", The Amateur Cracksman. 706.
  • Hornung, E. W. "A Bad Night", A Thief in the Night. 2098.
  • Hornung, E. W. "The Ides of March", The Amateur Cracksman. 706. '"Exactly," said Raffles, nodding to himself, as though in assent to some hidden train of thought; "exactly what I remember of you, and I'll bet it's as true now as it was ten years ago."'
  • Hornung, E. W. "The Ides of March", The Amateur Cracksman. 706.
  • Hornung, E. W. "To Catch a Thief", Raffles: Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman (also titled The Black Mask). 707. "Society is in rings like a target, and we never were in the bull's-eye, however thick you may lay on the ink! I was asked for my cricket. I haven't forgotten it yet."
  • Hornung, E. W. "The Ides of March", The Amateur Cracksman. 706. "I've never brought off a really big coup yet; when I do I shall chuck it up." (Raffles also says something similar at the end of "Nine Points of the Law".)
  • Hornung, E. W. "A Costume Piece", The Amateur Cracksman. 706. "Now there's some credit, and more sport, in going where they boast they're on their guard against you. The Bank of England, for example, is the ideal crib; but that would need half a dozen of us with years to give to the job; and meanwhile Reuben Rosenthall is high enough game for you and me. We know he's armed. We know how Billy Purvis can fight. It'll be no soft thing, I grant you. But what of that, my good Bunny—what of that? A man's reach must exceed his grasp, dear boy, or what the dickens is a heaven for?"
  • Hornung, E. W. "A Costume Piece", The Amateur Cracksman. 706. "Art for art's sake is a vile catchword, but I confess it appeals to me. In this case my motives are absolutely pure, for I doubt if we shall ever be able to dispose of such peculiar stones. But if I don't have a try for them—after to-night—I shall never be able to hold up my head again."
  • Hornung, E. W. "The Chest of Silver", A Thief in the Night. 2098. "You would have done your damnedest, Bunny! There is no limit to your heroism; but you forget the human equation in the pluckiest of the plucky. I couldn't afford to forget it, Bunny; I couldn't afford to give a point away. Don't talk as though I hadn't trusted you! I trusted my very life to your loyal tenacity."
  • Hornung, E. W. "A Costume Piece", The Amateur Cracksman. 706.
