" Don't you know about The Others? They're the ones that leave nails and broken glass on the road. They hide things when you're in a hurry. They've only got one arm and one leg each, you know. So they take single gloves and stockings, and they're frightfully keen on keys and unanswered letters. "
― Ngaio Marsh , Death and the Dancing Footman (Roderick Alleyn, #11)
