On the rats in Park Road...
"They seldom appeared in the daytime but one day when we were all busy at work, one of the draughtsmen (Beveridge) jumped up and knocked over his stool with a great clatter. Next we saw him standing with his hand behind his back clutching at the top of his trousers. A few moments afterwards he jerked out the back of this shirt and a dead rat fell out on the floor"
