From The Mysterious Mr. Badman, by W. F. Harvey:
***Digby watched them go down the High Street arm in arm, like two oddly assorted volumes from the shelves, Daniel Lavender, leather bound, fat and stumpy; Mrs. Lavender, cloth bound, tall and thin.***"Plumbers in our part of the world, you must know, have no use for telephones. News of a burst pipe must be broken to them very gently, usually at second or third hand."***
