Prowling-(of a person or animal) move about restlessly and stealthily, especially in search of prey.
Gentry-people of good social position, specifically the class of people next below the nobility in position and birth.
Shilling-A former British coin and monetary unit equal to one twentieth of a pound or twelve pence.
Torah-(in Judaism) the law of God as revealed to Moses and recorded in the first five books of the Hebrew scriptures (the Pentateuch).
Surtoute-A man's greatcoat of a similar style to a frock coat.
