here, that was my money, and‑‘ the Dean said, but the Lecturer in Recent Runes grabbed his arm.
‘Just come he said. ‘Odd, that. Just fog, flashing away.
The Archchancellor coughed. It was beginning to dawn on the Bursar that, against all expectation, the Archchancellor was quite bright.
‘Ever seen one of these shadow moving puppet play picture things?’ Ridcully asked.
‘The servants go,’ said the Bursar. This, Ridcully decided, meant along,’ he said, winked slowly and deliberately at the Chair. ‘Time we were getting back.’‘I don’t see why–‘the Dean gurgled, as they dragged him off. Grey clouds swirled in the Archchancellor’s magic mirror. Many wizards had them, but not many ever bothered to use them. They were quirky and unreliable. They weren’t even much good for shaving in.Ridcully was surprisingly adept at using one.‘Stalkin’,’ he offered as a brief explanation. ‘Couldn’t be having with all that crawlin’ around in damp bracken for hours, bigods. Help yourself to a drink, man. And one for me.’The clouds flickered.‘Can’t seem to see anything else,’

Gaspode stared at nothing much. ‘Can’t sink in the Ankh, though,’ he said thoughtfully. ‘Ver’ tough river, the Ankh.’
‘Woof.’
‘It have to go.)
‘Good boy Laddie! Laddie good boy!’ barked Laddie, trotting forward obediently, if a little unsteadily.
‘We’ve been looking for you everywhere!’ muttered one of the trainers, raising a stick.
‘Don’t hit it!’ said the other trainer. ‘You’ll ruin everything.’ He peered into the alley, and met Gaspode’s stare coming the other way. shouldn’t happen to a dog,’ said Gaspode. ‘Metaphorically.’ ‘Woof.’ Gaspode peered blearily at Laddie’s bright, alert and irrevocably stupid face. ‘You don’t understand a bloody word I’ve been saying, do you?’ he muttered. ‘Woof.’ said Laddie, begging. ‘Lucky bugger,’ sighed Gaspode. There was a commotion at the other end of the alley. He heard a voice say, ‘There he is! Here, Laddie! Here, boy!’ The words dripped relief. ‘It’s the Man,’ growled Gaspode. ‘You don’t

‘No,’ said Victor. through his megaphone. ‘Now, you ride up to the tent, leap off the camel, fight the huge eunuchs, burst into the tent, drag the girl out, get back on the camel and away. Got it? Think you ran do that?’
‘What huge eunuchs?’ said Victor, as the camel unfolded itself upwards.
One of the huge eunuchs shyly raised a hand.
‘It’s me. Morry,’ it said.
‘Oh. Hi, Morry.’
‘Hi, Vic.,
‘And me, Rock,’ said a second huge eunuch.
‘Hi, Rock.’ He leaned close to one of the camel’s ears and whispered, in case it was a special Holy Wood camel: ‘Look, I’m a friend, OK?’ Evil-Minded Son of a Bitch flicked a carpet-thick ear.[11]‘How do you ride it?’ he said. ‘When you want to go forward you swear at it and hit it with a stick, and when you want to stop you swear at it and really hit it with a stick.’ ‘What happens if you want it to turn?’ ‘Ah, well, you’re on to the Advanced Manual there. Best thing to do is get off and do it round by hand.’ ‘When you’re ready!’ Dibbler bellowed

‘All this–’, Dibbler released Silverfish’s shoulder just long enough to expansively indicate the energetic chaos around them. ‘Fantastic!’ he said. ‘Marvellous! And that last thing of yours, what was it called now–?’
‘High Jinks atbeen seen by hundreds of people, yes?’
‘Thousands,’ said Silverfish.
There was no analogy for Dibbler’s grin now. If it had managed to be any wider, the top of his head would have fallen off.

A beautifully sustained metaphor!’ ‘That cost us nearly twenty dollars, you know,’ said Silverfish, with shy pride. ‘And another forty pence for the sausages, of course.’ ‘Amazing!’ said Dibbler. ‘And it must have

But the multiverse is full of little dimensionettes, playstreets of creation where creatures of the imagination can romp without being knocked down by serious actuality. Sometimes, as they drift through the holes in reality, they impinge back on this universe, when they give rise to myths, legends and charges of being Drunk and creature. It exists solely because it has been imagined. It is well-known that in an infinite universe everything that can be imagined must exist somewhere, and since many of them are not things that ought to exist in a well-ordered space-time frame they get shoved into a side dimension. This may go some way to explaining the Sphinx's chronic bad temper, although any creature created with the body of a lion, bosom of a woman and wings of an eagle has a serious identity crisis and doesn't need much to make it angry.
So it had devised the Riddle. Disorderly. And it was into one of these that You Bastard, by a trivial miscalculation, had trotted. Legend had got it nearly right. The Sphinx did lurk on the borders of the kingdom. The legend just hadn't been precise about what kind of borders it was talking about. The Sphinx is an unreal

'I think the linen,' he said at last. 'It's definitely his colour.'
Gern put his head on one side.
'He'd look good in the hessian,' he said. 'Or maybe the calico.'
'Not the calico. Definitely not the calico. On him it's too big.'
'He could moulder into it. With wear, you know.'
Dil snorted. 'Wear? Wear? You shouldn't talk to me about calico and wear. What happens if someone robs the the Matron Lodge of the Guild of Embalmers and Allied Trades. It was as if death was some astonishing optical device which turned even a drop of water into a complex hive of life. He found an overpowering urge to counsel Dil on elementary politics, or apprise Gern of the benefits of washing and looking respectable. He tried it several times. They could sense him, there was no doubt about that. But they just put it down to draughts. Now he watched Dil pad over to the big table of bandages, and come back with a thick swatch which he held reflectively against what even the king

'You can't leave me here! There's nothing but forests!'
Tomjon felt the suffocating cold sensation again, and the slow buzzing in his ears. For a moment he thought he saw, faint as a mist, a tall sad man in front of him, stretching out a hand in supplication.
'I'm sorry,' he whispered. 'I really am.'

You don't remember any brothers and sisters, do you?''I don't remember anyone! Hwel, I—'There was another ferocious argument among the witches. And then Magrat was striding, striding across the hall, moving like a tidal wave, moving like a rush of blood to the head, shaking off Granny Weatherwax's restraining hand, bearing down on the throne like a piston, and dragging the Fool behind her.

Halloee!''Er, I say, excuse me, can anyone hear us?'The castle up above was full of hubbub and general rejoicing, and there was no-one to hear the polite and frantic voices that echoed along the
