Any thoughts about this? As in - a plot for a play?

Purloin [per-LOIN]
(v.)
-To appropriate wrongfully and often by a breach of trust.
-To steal.

From Middle English “purloynen” (to put away, misappropriate) from Anglo-French “purluigner” (to prolong, postpone, set aside) from “pur-” (forward) + “luin” (at a distance) from Latin “longe” from “longus” (long).

Used in a sentence:
“Well, then; I have received personal information, from a very high quarter, that a certain document of the last importance, has been purloined from the royal apartments. The individual who purloined it is known; this beyond a doubt; he was seen to take it.”
~Edgar Allan Poe - The Purloined Letter

Something to think about.

QOTD: "In 1606, Shakespeare's theatre was forced to close because of the plague. So he wrote King Lear, Macbeth, Antony & Cleopatra. Wash your hands. Be grateful. Get better at what you do." -Matt Lagan
