hm: Just watched Marx Brothers on youtube.
Maybe that is the reason why I really love this outstanding line:
"Unpopular fruit rots in unchivalrous batches,"
Once I read "moles" I knew what this mysterious masterpiece is about:
It is nothing less than a brilliant (ly disguised) reference to a poem of Robert Burns.
To make it not too simple for the Sherlock Holmesses among us, I will just give one hint:
In Lallans one of the words for "mole" is moudiwort, which is the word Burns uses in his poem.
Good luck! :-)
cheers
