My host seized me by the arm and drew me back. 'Tell me, dear boy,' he said in a hoarse whisper, 'I don't want to be personal, but is it the gin I've drunk or does your stomach always wriggle like that?'
'No,' I said gravely. 'It's not my stomach. I've got a mongoose in my shirt.'
He gazed at me unblinkingly for a moment.
'Very reasonable explanation,' he said at last.

Gerald Durrell 'A Zoo in My Luggage'

Джеральд Даррелл все-таки очень отличный! и киндловское издание замечательное: с теми самыми картинками, которые были в моей любимой книжке кучу лет назад.
P.S. golden__hair, смотри, смотри, я нашла ее - жизнеутверждающую цитату! :)
