“On mounting to the top of a rather dark and dirty stair, Wimsey and his companion were agreeably surprised to discover a freshly-painted green door with the name ‘Miss O. Kohn’ neatly written upon a white card and attached to the panel by drawing-pins. The brass knocker, representing the Lincoln Imp, was highly polished.”

--Dorothy L. Sayers, Have His Carcase, Chapter XXIX: The Evidence of the Mannequin.
