AtD p 861 some misc. explication

[Mark Kohut]

861..."traffic in their souls"....physical pirates deal "with a better class of middlemen".....?
   
  861 The Webley Revolver (also known as the Webley Break-Top Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver) was, in various marks, the standard issue service pistol for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, the British Empire, and the Commonwealth from 1887 until 1963.
   
  861. That knowing veiled threat exchange "this sober and unsociable vacancy"....one of the great lines, yes?
....and the narrator saying it was worse than a gun in your face in a bar where there was at least a chance.....
