I've just been re-reading The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents. On page 140, there is a dialogue:
The youngest member of the Trap Disposal Squad was trailing after Sardines. She was wet and dejected. "you look like a drowned rat, miss" said Darktan. "Fell in a broken drain, sir." said Nourishing.
