    “Christ, I feel like a naughty schoolboy again,” said Alec as they walked into King’s Bench Walk. “We have just had a dressing-down by the headmaster. Strider could easily be a man handy with a cane.”
    “That man Strider is a crook,” said Bing-Wallace. “His utterances are like the product of a performance of Joseph Pujol … Le Pétomane!”
    “Who is Joseph Pujol?”
    “He is a well-known French flatulist performer.”
    “What?” Alec stopped dead,
    “A fartist, dear boy, a performer of farts.” Bing-Wallace began to giggle, as did Alec.”

    'The package is in my possession,' a female voice said, and the phone clicked shut.”
    ― R.D. Ronald, The Zombie Room
