| "The wizards receive a demand for the Great Wizzard (sic) to be sent to the Counterweight Continent, and at first they are stumped as to who he is. Fortunately (for them), the Librarian remembers the hat he has been keeping since the end of Sourcery, which once belonged to Rincewind. With the aid of their magical computer, Hex, they locate Rincewind, and then transport him to the Counterweight Continent where he is reunited, in turn, with Cohen the Barbarian and Twoflower. The Red Army, inspired by ruling powers and are convinced that Rincewind is the only person to help them. Rincewind has another idea, largely involving running away. Meanwhile Cohen and a horde of other aged heroes have their own plans to defeat the ruler of the Forbidden Kingdom." "Terry Pratchet" by Andrew M Butler |

"But it'll kill him!" *** Lord Vetinari, as supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, could in theory summon the Archchancellor of Unseen University to his presence and, indeed, have him executed if he failed to obey. *** The shark didn't think much. Sharks don't. Their though processes can largely be represented by "=". You see it = you eat it. *** "Round everyone up. My study. Ten minutes," said Ridcully. He was a great believer in this approach. A less direct Archchancellor would have wandered around looking for everyone. His policy was to find one person and make their life difficult until everything happened the way he wanted it to. [Footnote: A policy adopted by almost all managers and several notable gods.] *** Ridcully assumed that anything people had time to write down couldn't be important. *** Rincewind:"We're not taking all five horses, are we?" *** "Luck is my middle name," said Rincewind, indistinctly."Mind you, my first name is Bad." *** The hideout echoed to the sounds of the Silver Horde getting up, groaning, adjusting various home-made surgical supports, complaining that they couldn't find their spectacles and mistakenly gumming one another's dentures. *** [The Silver Horde] stole from rich merchants and temples and kings. They didn't steal from poor people; this was not because there was anything virtuous about poor people, it was simply because poor people had no money. *** "Et a man once," mumbled Mad Hamish."In a siege, it were." *** A wizard would sooner go without his robe and trousers than forgo his hat. Without his hat, people might think he was an ordinary person. *** "I'm not dependable. Even I don't depend on me, and I'm me." *** "How about Organdy Sloggo? Still going strong down in Howondaland, last I heard." *** Fate:"How can you hope to win without sacrificing the occassional pawn?" *** ++ ????? ++ Out of Cheese Error ++ Redo From Start ++ *** The Agatean word for "foreigner" is the same as the word for "ghost", and only one brush stroke away from the word for "victim". *** |
