Tom steals two pastries from the kitchen. He gives the larger one to Maggie. She tries to give it to him but Tom insists she take it. He watches Maggie eat the pastry and says that she is greedy implying that she cheated. On another occasion Bon and Tom play heads-or-tails with Bob's half-penny. Tom accuses Bob of cheating. Tom demands the half-penny but then refuses saying that he does not accept things from "cheaters".
