Changed line(s) 68 (click to see context) from:
* In ''Literature/DayOfTheJackal'', the Jackal has taken shelter in the mansion of a woman he seduced. When he makes a call to his informant, he always makes sure the woman falls asleep before making a call from a phone in the other room. During one call, he hears a click on the phone, and realizes the woman has been listening on another phone. When he returns to his room, he finds one of his suitcases opened and parts of his ScaramangaSpecial rifle on the floor. He immediately kills the woman, packs his cases, and flees, but killing her ultimately ended up harming him; before, when he entered France, he was [[spoiler: attempting to assassinate UsefulNotes/CharlesDeGaulle]] and the search for him was carried out in almost complete secrecy. After this murder, however, it became an open, public manhunt.

* Creator/EllestonTrevor had his British spy Literature/{{Quiller}} "listening for clicks" whenever he picked up a phone, long after the technology to avert this had been developed.
