* In ''Literature/OttoOfTheSilverHand'', One-eyed Hans [[JanitorImpersonationInfiltration disguises himself as a peddler]] in order to infiltrate Castle Trutz-Drachen. A woman lets him into an antechamber, then leaves to gather her friends, locking the door behind her. As soon as she's gone, Hans climbs up the chimney. Then he comes to a place where another chimney joins the one he's in, so he goes down that chimney. He drops down into the kitchen, black with soot. A startled sculling boy yells "It's the evil one!" and runs out of the kitchen.
