Terry Pratchett Quote
Two uniformed trolls were standing in front of Sergeant Colon's high desk, with a slightly smaller troll between them. This troll was wearing a slightly downcast expression. It was also wearing a tutu and had a small pair of gauzed wings glued to its back. - happen to know that trolls don't have tradition of a Tooth Fairy, Colon was saying. Especially not one called' - he looked down - Clinkerbell. So how about we just call it breaking and entering without a Thieves' Guild license?Is racial prejudice, not letting trolls have a Tooth Fairy, Clinkerbell muttered.One of the troll guards upended a sack on the desk. Various items of silverwear cascaded over the paperwork.And this is what you found under their pillows, was it? said Colon.Bless dere little hearts, said Clinkerbell.
