BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD
"But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning
office for the last nine months."
"Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see
them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your
way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually
telling anybody or anything."
"But the plans were on display ..."
"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."
"That's the display department."
"With a flashlight."
"Ah, well the lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But look, you found the notice didn't you?"

of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a
sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
