Subject: Local/global variable dilemma

Hi all,
I have several classes in a module, thus:

module Example
  class Ay
  end

  class Bee
  end
end

I have a piece of data I want to share between classes Example::Ay and 
Example::Bee, preferably without it being available to things outside the 
module. What's the best way to do this? As a class variable of Example 
doesn't seem to work, as I can't access this from within Ay or Bee...
