     You have no idea what a useful auxiliary the Black Cabinet of another Power can become — there is no better channel for false news, and in my short experience of the trade, I find oilmen and cheesemongers most indispensable factors of the diplomatic craft, colleagues I highly value, though I don't know what my high and mighty associates in the noble task of "disuniting" Germany would say, if I ventured to trespass on the sacrosanctity of these patented federal snorers (Bundestags Schnarcher) by assimilating my greasy grocers' boys, or my cheesemongering helpmates, to the bestarred and tinselled Excellencies of the Thurn and Taxis Palace, though they would give the former a point or two in soapiness and ignorance (Seifigkeit und Unverstand).

   • 1898, Science and Industry‎^[2], volume 2, page 96:
