+It was a /good/ routine, even Maurice had to admit.  Some towns had
+advertised for a rat piper the very first time he'd done it.  People could
+tolerate rats in the cream, and rats in the roof, and rats in the teapot,
+but they drew the line at tap dancing.  If you saw tap dancing-rats, you
+were in big trouble.  Maurice had reckoned that if only the rats could

+
+"Hairpins," said Malicia, selecting one.  "Hairpins always work in the
+books I've read.  You just push one into the keyhole and twiddle.  I have
+a selection of prebent ones."
+
+Once again Maurice felt a little chill at the back of his head.  They work
+in /stories/, he thought.  Oh dear me.
+
+"And how come you know so much about picking locks?" he said.
+
+"I told you, they lock me out of my room to punish me," said Malicia,
