• Editor : Something extremely unpleasant was about to happen, I was sure of that. Something sinister and cruel, but I had to see it now.

  Editor : In the afternoon, the Rat Man came to the petrol station. He sidled up the driveway with a soft stealthy gate. His feet made no noise at all on the gravel. He had an Army knapsack slung over one shoulder. He wore an old-fashioned corduroy jacket with large pockets. His corduroy trousers were tied around the knees with lengths of white string.

  Rat Man : Hello?

  Claud : Yes?

  Rat Man : Rodent operative.

  Editor : His small dark eyes moved swiftly over the premises.
