Literature | Winged Rooks Outwitted sharpers. A rook is a sharper, and a rookery the place of resort for sharpers. A rook is the opposite of a pigeon; a rook cheats, a pigeon is the one cheated. "This light, young, gay in appearance, the thoughtless youth of wit and pleasure- the pigeon rather than the rook- but the heart the same sly, shrewd, cold-blooded calculator."- Sir W. Scott: Peveril of the Peak, chap. xxviii. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
