A quicky of Mistress Weatherwax and You, because - do you really need a reason? Have a quote.
“Granny, your hat squeaked,” said Tiffany. “It went meep!”
“No it didn’t,” Granny said sharply.
“It did, you know,” said Nanny Ogg. “I heard it too.”
Granny Weatherwax grunted and pulled off her hat. The white kitten, curled around her tight bun of hair, blinked in the light.
“I can’t help it,” Granny muttered. “If I leave the dratted thing alone, it goes under the dresser and cries and cries.” She looked around at the others as if daring them to say anything. “Anyway,” she added, “it keeps m’ head warm.
“Do you wish me to recall Vimes from Uberwald, sir?”
“Good heavens, no. Vimes in Uberwald will be more amusing than an amorous armadillo in a bowling alley.”Thank you, Vetinari, for the alliteration and mental image.
(x) The Luggage from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld
“The Luggage was also extremely protective if its owner. It would be hard to describe its attitude to the rest of creation, but one could start with the phrase ‘bloody-minded malevolence’ and work up from there.”
- Terry Pratchett, “Sourcery”
“The Luggage’s lid was set in an expression of grim determination. It didn’t want much out of the world, except for the total extinction of every other lifeform, but what it needed more than anything else now was its owner.”
- Terry Pratchett, “Sourcery”
I really hope Raising Taxes might finally feature the crossword compiler/pet shop lady as an actual character.
She upsets Vetinari, come on, how awesome must she be?
Fear comes with imagination, it’s a penalty, it’s the price of imagination.
