Who steals Dunny's wallet after an event at Le Grand Cirque Forain de St. Vite?

The correct answer is Jill Surgeoner, as she is the character directly involved in the incident where she steals Dunny's wallet. Jill represents a tumultuous influence in Dunstan's life, embodying both temptation and the chaos of the circus environment that surrounds them. This act of theft is significant because it not only highlights the unpredictable and morally ambiguous world they inhabit but also serves to deepen Dunstan's character development. Through the theft, readers see the consequences of Dunstan's decisions and the complex relationships he has with the people around him.

In contrast, the other characters do not partake in this incident. Paul Dempster, for instance, is a key figure in Dunstan's life but is not involved in this act. Dunstan Ramsay, being the protagonist, is the one who experiences the theft rather than committing it. Padre Balzone, while influential in the narrative, also does not participate in the theft. Each character plays a role in the dynamics of the story, but it is Jill’s action that becomes a pivotal point of conflict for Dunstan.
