"And the tall man answered in a low voice: 'On the beach.'
"The small man nodded, and after a short silence said: 'Where does a wise man hide a leaf?'

"The other did not answer.
"'If there were no forest, he would make a forest. "
- G.K. Chesterton, "The sign of the broken sword", in "The innocence of Father Brown"
