"I know nothing. I know," said Ellery sadly, "rather less than nothing, when it comes to that. I might, however, ask you what you know." Macgowan started. "I hadn't got round to you, you see. But you do you know something, and I think it would be wise for you to let me share your knowledge. I'm the repository for more secrets than you could throw at a dead cat, if that's the polite custom. I'm unofficial - blessed state, you understand. I tell what I think should be told and keep all the rest to myself."
(from The Chinese Orange Mystery, by Ellery Queen)
