"Tinkers?" Perrin exclaimed, "I've always wanted to see the Tinkers! They camp accross the river from Tarren Ferry sometimes, but they never come down into the Two Rivers. I don't know why not."
Egwene sniffed.
"Probably because the Tarren Ferry folk are as great thieves as the Tinkers. They'd no doubt end up stealing each other blind. Master Elyas, if there really are Tinkers close by, shouldn't we go on, we don't want Bela stolen, and... well we do not have much else, but everyone knows Tinkers will steal anything!"

Why does anyone like this racist bitch? Seriously, she's just the worst.
