don'tcherknow, Maypoles and suchlike, healthy reels, perhaps a little light ballroom . . . not swinging people round like a dwarf with a battleaxe (mind you salt of the earth dwarfs I've always said so). Do I make myself clear?'
'mumblemumblemumbleeveryonewasdoingitmumble,' said the Dean, still looking at the floor.
'I never thought I'd, and mostly lived in a kind of groove between their rooms and the dining table. But they were feeling strange.

He said, much later on, on the day when the music died, that it must have been because he'd never been really young, or at least young while just being old enough to know he was young. Like most wizards, he'd begun his training while still so small that the official pointy hat came down over his ears. And after that he'd just been, well, a wizard. say this to any wizard over the age of eighteen, but you're all gated until further notice!' shouted Ridcully.Being confined to the campus was not much of a punishment.

It was three in the morning. Sergeant Colon and Corporal Nobbs were reaching the conclusion that anyone who intended to invade Ankh‑Morpork probably wasn't going to do so now. And there was a good fire back in the watch house.'ER . . . GOOD EVENING.'
The guards watched the horse walk out of sight.
'Some poor bugger's in for it, then,' said Sergeant Colon.
'He's dedicated, you got to admit it,' said Nobby. 'Out at all hours. Always got time for people.'
'Yeah.'
The guards stared into the velvety dark. Something not quite right, thought Sergeant Colon.
'What's his first name?' said Nobby.'We could leave a note,' said Nobby, blowing on his fingers. 'You know? Come back tomorrow, sort of thing?'He looked up. A solitary horse was walking under the gate arch. A white horse, with a sombre, black‑clad rider.There was no question of 'Halt, who goes there?' The night watch walked the streets at strange hours and had become accustomed to seeing things not generally seen by mortal men.Sergeant Colon touched his helmet respectfully.''Evenin', your lordship,' he said.

pile of horse droppings took care of the floral smell, and five minutes of scratching removed the bow.
'Not a bloody flea left,' he moaned, dropping the bowl. 'An' I had nearly the complete set. Whee-ooo! I'm well out of that. Huh!'marrowbone jelly, that bone,' he said accusingly.
'Forget it,' said Angua. 'Now, how do you normally get into the Assassins' Guild?'
'And maybe afterwards we could kind of hang out in the middens along Phedre Road?' said Gaspode, his stump of a tail still thumping the ground. 'There's rats along
Gaspode brightened up. It was Tuesday. That meant steak-and-suspicious-organs pie at the Thieves' Guild, and the head cook there was known to be susceptible to a thumping tail and a penetrating stare. And holding an empty bowl in your mouth and looking pathetic was a sure-fire winner, if Gaspode was any judge. It shouldn't take too long to claw off MR HUGGY.
Perhaps this wasn't the way it ought to be. But it was the way it was.
On the whole, he reflected, it could have been a lot worse.
