From Dorothy L. Sayers, _The Five Red Herrings_:
The ticket-collector on the train was not helpful.
[...] Certainly he had seen nobody remotely resembling the
portrait of Gowan [a suspect with a very full black beard].
Was there anybody at all like what Gowan would be if clean-shaven?
Well, that was asking something, that was. Had the Inspector
any idea what a 'edge-'og would look like without its spikes?
No, nor he didn't suppose nobody had, neither. He was a
ticket-collector, not a puzzle-picture expert. [...]
