"I phoned Sally from the inn, and everything is arranged. She will drive over in my car and be waiting in the garden outside the collection room at one ack emma. I shall secure the bust and hand it to her, and she will drive off with it. As simple as that."
"Simple!"
"What can go wrong?"
"A million things. Suppose you're caught."
"I am never caught. They know me in the Underworld as The Shadow. I wish I could cure you of this extraordinary tendency of yours always to look on the dark side."
"Well, what other sides are there?" said Pongo.
(from Uncle Dynamite, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
