Do you think he saw where we’d taken out the bricks?’
‘No, I was standing in front of the holes,’ said the Chair.
‘Come on, then. Where were we?’
‘Look, I , and as far as he was concerned it was to be pushed everywhere and generally pandered to.
It was wide and long and steered by means of a little front wheel and a long cast‑iron handle. Cast iron, in fact, featured largely in its construction. Bits of baroque ironwork adorned its frame, which seemed to have been made of iron drainpipes welded together. The rear wheels did not in fact have blades affixed to them, but looked as though these were optional extras. There were various dread levers which only really think this is most unwise,’ said the Dean.‘Just shut up, old chap, and hold this brick.’‘Very well, but tell me this; how do you propose to get the wheelchair over?’They looked at Poons’ wheelchair.There are wheelchairs which are lightweight and built to let their owners function fully and independently in modern society. To the thing inhabited by Poons, they were as gazelles to a hippopotamus. Poona was well aware of his function in modern society

it would have to wait, because of the row that was going on.
It was over the third major part in Blown Away. Victor was of course the dashing but dangerous hero, Ginger was the only possible choice for the female lead, but the second male role ‑the dull but dutiful one ‑ was causing trouble.
Victor had never seen anyone stamp their foot in anger before. He’d always thought it was something they did only to get elementalist about this?’
Now it was Ginger’s turn to wave her hands. ‘I like trolls,’ she said. ‘As trolls, that is. But you can’t seriously mean me to do a romantic scene with a, a, a cliff face.’
‘Now look here,’ said Rock, his voice winding up like a pitcher’s arm. ‘What you’re saying is, is OK for trolls to be shown bashing people with clubs, is not OK to show trolls have in books. But Ginger was doing it.‘Because I’d look an idiot, that’s why!’ she was saying.Soll, who was by now feeling like a lightning rod on a stormy day, waved his hand frantically.‘But he’s ideal for the role!’ he said. ‘It calls for a solid character‑‘‘Solid? Of course he’s solid! He’s made of stone!’ shouted Ginger. ‘He might have a suit of chain mail and a false moustache but he’s still a troll!’Rock, looming monolithically over the pair of them, cleared his throat noisily.‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘I hope we’re not going

you tell Dibbler everything I told you?’ he said.
‘Yes. He was very upset when I mentioned about going to Untied Alchemists.’
Gaspode sniggered.
‘An’ you told him what I said about a verbal contract not being worth the paper it’s printed on?’
‘Yes. He ‘Now, there’s some new words I want you to learn,’ said Gaspode. ‘Think you can?’
‘I hope so.’
‘ "Per-cent-age of the gross" ‘, said Gaspode. ‘There. Think you can remember it?’
‘ "Per-cent-age of the gross",’ said Victor.
‘Good lad.’
‘What does it mean?’ said he didn’t understand what I meant. But he gave me a cigar. And he said he’d pay for me and Ginger to go to AnkhMorpork soon. He said he’s got a really big picture planned.’ ‘What is it?’ said Gaspode suspiciously. ‘He didn’t say.’ ‘Listen, lad,’ said Gaspode, ‘Dibbler’s making a fortune. I counted it. There were five thousand, two hundred and seventy-three dollars and fifty-two pence on Son’s desk. And you earned it. Well, you and Ginger did.’ ‘Gosh!’

off and fight the Balgrog, and you,’ he pointed to the girl, ‘you, you, you just follow him and look as, as rescued as you possibly can, OK?’
‘I’m good at that,’ she said, resignedly.
‘No, no, no,’ said Dibbler, putting his head in his hands. ‘Not that again!’
‘Isn’t that what you wanted?’ said Silverfish. ‘Fights and rescues?’
‘There’s got to be more to it than that!’ said Dibbler.
‘Like what?’ Silverfish.
‘They’re meant to! That’s what people expect!’
‘And I’m giving them what they expect, too,’ said Silverfish. ‘People like to see more of what they expect. Fights and chases, that sort of thing–’
‘ ‘Scuse me, Mister Silverfish,’ said the handleman, above the angry chattering of the demons.
‘Yes?’ snapped Dibbler. Silverfish demanded. ‘Oh, I don’t know. Razzmatazz. Oomph. The old zonkaroonie.’ ‘Funny noises? We haven’t got sound.’ ‘Everyone makes clicks about people running around and fighting and falling over,’ said Dibbler. ‘There should be something more. I’ve been looking at the things you make here, and they all look the same to me.’ ‘Well, all sausages look the same to me,’ snapped
‘ ‘Scuse me, Mister Dibbler, but I got to feed ‘em ina quarter of a hour.’

he had a thin moustache, which in a certain light made him look debonair and, in another, made him look as though he had been drinking a thick chocolate milk shake.
He was quite proud of it. When you became a wizard you were expected to stop shaving and grow a beard like a gorse bush, student wizards had quietly got around, or more precisely climbed over, Unseen University’s curfew restrictions.
The plaza wasn’t on the route.
He turned to amble back the way he had come, and then stopped. There was something unusual going on.
Usually there’d be a storyteller there, or some musicians, or an entrepreneur looking for prospective buyers of such surplus Ankh-Morpork landmarks as the Tower of Art or the Brass . Very senior wizards looked capable of straining nourishment out of the air via their moustaches, like whales. It was now half-past one. He was ambling back from the Mended Drum, the most determinedly disreputable of the city’s taverns. Victor Tugelbend always gave the impression of ambling, even when he was running. He was also quite sober and a bit surprised, therefore, to find himself in the Plaza of Broken Moons. He’d been heading for the little alley behind the University and the piece of wall with the conveniently spaced removable bricks where, for hundreds and hundreds of years

zipping overhead. You Bastard glanced up at it briefly and then turned his head and stared fixedly at a very small area of sand.
A second later the arrow thudded into it.
Then he tested the weight on his feet and did a small calculation which revealed that two people had been subtracted from his back. Further summation indicated that they had been added to the dune.
'What did you do that for?' said Ptraci, spitting out sand.
'Someone fired at us!'
'I shouldn't think so. I mean, they didn't know we were here, did the'Sometimes it is.' 'Hmm.' The tone of voice suggested that she disapproved of the sea but, before she could explain why, they heard the sound of voices raised in anger. They were coming from behind a nearby sand dune. There was a notice on the dune. It said, in several languages: AXIOM TESTING STATION. Below it, in slightly smaller writing, it added: CAUTION - UNRESOLVED POSTULATES. As they read it, or at least as Teppic read it and Ptraci didn't, there was a twang from behind the dune, followed by a click, followed by an arrow y? You needn't have

think so. We've never really discussed it. Anyway, she died when I was young.
'How dreadful,' said Chidder cheerfully.
'She went for a moonlight swim in what turned out to be a crocodile.' Teppic tried politely not to be hurt at the boy's reaction.
'My , 'and lots of servants.'
'Bit old fashioned, this kingdom of yours?'
Teppic nodded. 'It's the pyramids,' he said. 'They take all the money.'
'Expensive things, I should imagine.'
'Not particularly. They're just made of stone.' Teppic sighed. 'We've got lots of stone,' he father's in commerce,' said Chidder, as they passed through the archway. 'That's fascinating,' said Teppic dutifully. He felt quite broken by all these new experiences, and added, 'I've never been to Commerce, but I understand they're very fine people.' Over the next hour or two Chidder, who ambled gently through life as though he'd already worked it all out, introduced Teppic to the various mysteries of the dormitories, the classrooms and the plumbing. He left the plumbing until last, for all sorts of reasons. 'Not any?' he said. 'There's buckets and things,' said Teppic vaguely
