I am completely bloody exhausted. Never mind why. Back from bloody Uberwald, presents delivered, beer drunk, hangover duly dealt with ( Read more... )

Thank you very much, Mr Webber; you were a great help to me and to her Ladyship both. If I ever can do anything for you again, just let me know beforehand.

I hope everything worked out all right, this time, and you didn't have toomuch of a bother on the way back?

Sir- profound apologies for intruding on your turf with no prior warning. Hot pursuit, and all that. I really hope we didn't tread on any toes over there.

And the trip home was not the easiest. But I'm back now, so all is right with the world.

I quite understood, as I told you. And I actually had prior warning, although only very shortly before anything might have gone wrong. Toe-treading was avoided due to highly inofficial channels of communications over the PC.

And now I know whom I might ask if I ever need urgent information from Ankh-Morpork on one of my cases, instead of just clacksing to New Pseudopolis Yard and hoping the clacks won't be used for firelighters.

It was a pleasure meeting you, and I am glad to hear that the world is all right for you.

Always willing to promote international cooperation, over here.

That's quite an interesting idea, actually.

A cart would be far too small, I believe. Perhaps a very large carriage, or a sort of small building on wheels?

Have you ever seen the old hurry up wagon? Bloody enormous.

The building on wheels idea is interesting, though, and I guess it could be more easily defendable, too. I mean, it could have a lot of bulk to it, could be made pretty secure. Maybe there could be a way of retracting the wheels, so it could be parked somewhere for a while?

No, actually.

Possibly. I'm hardly an expert in the area, unfortunately.

Well, I guess you wouldn't have. It's been kept in the old Treacle Mine Road watch house for years- this city never throws anything away that works. I don't even want to think about some of the stuff they've still got squirrelled away in Cable Street... Now it's being done up as a watch house again, I dunno what they're going to do with the old wagon. Should be in a museum, or something.

Maybe in a few more years. I'd guess it has bad memories for some of the people in this town.

Doesn't mean that they aren't there, Ponder.

Mr WEBBER! How *delightful* to see you again!

Ah, yes, you and Mister Webber know each other, don't you?

Aaah yes, the delightful Andre. At one time we were quite *close*.

You know him too? However did that come about, Mister Zesk?

He posted at the UU, Mister Harris, and we just seemed to click. Same sense of humour, I think.
