Miss Dearheart looked around the room conspiratorially, as if the heavy old bookcases concealed a multitude of ears.
“Can you keep a secret, Mr. Blister?”
“Oh, indeed, madam. Indeed!”
She looked around cautiously.

Thinking about that scene in Making Money where Moist confesses to encouraging mongooses to breed in the post boxes to keep down the snakes which were introduced to keep down the toads which were introduced to keep down the snails which were eating the stamp glue
