Terry Pratchett Quote
Vimes shook some lather off the blade. Hah! I bet they have. Tell me, Willikins, did you fight much when you were a kid? Were you in a gang or anything?I was privileged to belong to the Shamlegger Street Rude Boys, sir, said the butler.Really? said Vimes, genuinely impressed. They were pretty tough nuts, as I recall.Thank you, sir, said Willikins smoothly. I pride myself I used to give somewhat more than I got if we needed to discuss the vexed area of turf issues with the young men from Rope Street. Stevedore's hooks were their weapon of choice, as I recall.And yours...? said Vimes, agog.A cap-brim sewn with sharpened pennies, sir. An ever-present help in times of trouble.Ye gods, man! You could put someone's eye out with something like that.With care, sir, yes, said Willikins, meticulously folding a towel.
