Are the criminals well spoken in The Ransom of Red Chief?

In "The Ransom of Red Chief," the criminals, Bill and Sam, are not particularly well-spoken. Their dialogue is informal, filled with slang and a casual tone that reflects their lower socioeconomic status. Despite their criminal intentions, their interactions reveal a humorous ineptitude rather than sophistication, particularly in how they handle the unexpected challenges posed by the mischievous child they have kidnapped. This contrast enhances the comedic elements of the story.
