'You can come in, Mrs Cake.'
It wasn't much of a room. It was mainly brown. Brown oilcloth flooring, brown walls, a picture over the brown bed of a brown stag being attacked by brown dogs on a brown moorland against a sky which, contrary to established meteorological knowledge, was brown. There was a brown wardrobe. Possibly, if you fought your way through the mysterious old coats[in it, you'd break through into a magical fairyland precognition switched on again, Mrs Cake,' said Angua, swinging her legs out of bed and rummaging quickly through the pile of clothes on the chair.'Where'd we got to?' said Mrs Cake, still on the other side of the door.'You just said, "I don't know, shall I ask him to go away?" Mrs Cake,' said Angua. Clothes! That was always the trouble! At least a male werewolf only had to worry about a pair of shorts and pretend he'd been on a brisk run.'Right.' Mrs Cake coughed. ' "There's a young man downstairs asking for you",' she said.' "Who is it?",' said Angua.There was a moment's silence.

What an imagination the girl has.''Woof mindedly kicked him into the gutter and had gone a few steps before they suddenly thought: I'm a bastard, what am I?
'There is something up there,' said Carrot. 'Look . . . something blue, hanging off that gargoyle.'
'Woof woof, woof! Would you credit it?'
Vimes stood on Carrot's shoulders and walked his hand up the wall, but the little blue strip was still out of reach.
The gargoyle rolled a stony eye towards him.
'Do you mind?' said Vimes. 'It's hanging on your ear With a grinding of stone on stone, the gargoyle reached up a hand and unhooked the intrusive material.
'Thank you.'woof,' said a voice behind them.'That damn dog's been following us,' said Vimes.'It's barking at something on the wall,' said Carrot.Gaspode eyed them coldly.'Woof woof, bloody whine whine,' he said. 'Are

Nanny Ogg appeared silently behind Granny Weatherwax as she watched it go.
“Silver shoes?” she said quietly “They’ll last no time at all.”
“And silver nails. “Are you?”
“Well. . . Mr. Casanunda did ask if I could show him the Long Man. You know. Properly. I suppose it’s him being a dwarf. They’re very interested in earthworks.”
“Can’t get enough of them,” said Casanunda.
Granny rolled her eyes.They’ll last for long enough,” said Granny, speaking to the world in general. “And she’ll never get it back, though she calls it for a thousand years.”“Shoeing the unicorn,” said Nanny, shaking her head.“Only you’d think of shoeing a unicorn, Esme.”“I’ve been doing it all my life,” said Granny.Now the unicorn was a speck on the moorland. As they watched, it disappeared into the evening gloom.Nanny Ogg sighed, and broke whatever spell there was.“So that’s it, then.”“Yes.”“Are you going to the dance up at the castle?”

Ridcully shook himself. “What’s happening?” he said.
“I don’t know!” said Shawn, who was almost in tears. “I think we’re being attacked by elves! Nothing anyone’s telling me’s making any sense! Somehow they arrived during the Entertainment! Or something!”

Magrat Garlick?”Ridcully’s mind could digest one fact at a time.“What’s she gone out for?”“They captured the king!”“Did you know they’ve got Esme Weatherwax as well?”“What, Granny Weatherwax?”“I came back to rescue her,” said Ridcully, and then real-ized that this sounded either nonsense or cowardly.Shawn was too upset to notice. “I just hope they’re not collecting witches,” he said. “They’ll need our mum to get the complete set.”

“Elves?”
“You got to hold on to something iron, miss! They hate iron!”
She slapped his face, hurting her fingers on the mail.
“You’re gabbling, Shawn!”
“They’re outto mind?” said Magrat. “I don’t see them, do you? Are they behind the door? No! Are they under the bed?
How strange, they’re not ... there’s just me, Shawn Ogg. And if you don’t tell me everything you know right now I’ll make you regret the day I was born.”

And over there is the old forge, and there’s Mrs. Persifleur’s, where I had lodgings. See that peak up there? That’s Copperhead, that is. I climbed that one day with old Carbonaceous the troll. Oh, great days, great days. And see that wood down there, on the hill?

There was just a trace of uncertainty in her voice now.
