Then the arm snapped and the pie collapsed in a little heap by Colon's foot.'It's sad, isn't it?' said Nobby.The door opened awkwardly, but only by a few inches, and a small clown stared up at him.'I say, I say, I say,' it said, 'why did the fat man knock at the door?''I don't know,' said Colon automatically. 'Why did the fat man knock at the door?'They stared at each other, tangled in the punchline.'That's what I asked you,' said the clown reproachfully. He had a depressed, hopeless voice.Sergeant Colon struck out towards sanity.

No one could say I haven’t been decently party,” said the Bursar to a chair, “I wish I was here.”The Librarian picked up a large bottle from the table. He tapped Carter on the shoulder. Then he poured him a large drink and patted him on the head.Ponder relaxed and turned back to what he was doing. He’d tied a knife to a bit of string and was gloomily watch-ing it spin round and round . . .On his way home that night Weaver was picked up by a mysterious assailant and dropped into the Lancre. No one ever found out why. Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, especially simian ones. They’re not all that subtle.Others went home that night.“She’ll be getting ideas above her station in life,” said Granny Weatherwax, as the two witches strolled through the scented air.

Hodgesaargh, like Mr. Brooks, didn’t take much interest in events beyond his immediate passion. He was aware that there were a lot of visitors in the castle and, as far as he was concerned, anyone looking at the hawks was a fellow enthusiast.“She’s still alive. Just.” She grabbed the hem of her dress, and tried to rip it.
“Damn the thing. Help me, Shawn.”
“Miss?”

“But—““That’s my best bird,” he said proudly. “I’ve nearly got her trained. She’s very good. I’m training her. She’s very intelligent. She knows eleven words of command.”The elf nodded solemnly. Then it slipped the hood off the bird’s head, and nodded toward Hodgesaargh.“Kill,” it commanded.Lady Jane’s eyes glittered in the torchlight. Then she leapt, and hit the elf full in the throat with two sets of talons and a beak.“She does that with me, too,” said Hodgesaargh. “Sorry about that. She’s very intelligent.”Diamanda was lying on the kitchen floor, in a pool of blood.Magrat knelt beside her.
