The broomstick jerked ahead again, dumping Nanny Ogg in Casanunda’s lap.

“Don’t mention it. In fact, do it again if you like.”
“Get him, did you?”

“Good. Where’re the others?”

“They aren’t following us anymore,” said Casanunda, after a while. “We’ve frightened them off, yes?”
“Not us. They’re nervy of going close to the Long Man. It’s not their turf. Huh, look at the state of this path. There’s trees growing in it now. When I was a girl, you wouldn’t find a blade of grass growing on the path.” She smiled at athem.”Casanunda grinned madly.“We showed them, eh?” Something went zip and stuck into Nanny Ogg’s hat. “They know we’ve got iron,” she said. “They won’t come close again. They don’t need to,” she added bitterly.The broomstick swerved around a tree and ploughed2471

He caught up with her.
“Even young Ponder doesn’t think like this,” he said. “You’ve made up your mind that it would have been dread-ful, have you?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Why’d you think?”
“I asked you!”
“I’m too busy for from one universe to another.”
“Ever tried it?”
“No!”
“A circle is a door half open. It doesn’t need much to open it up all the way. Even belief 11 do it. That’s why they put the Dancers up, years ago. We got the dwarfs to do it. Thunderbolt iron, those stones. There’s something special about ‘em. They’ve got the love of iron. Don’t ask me how it works. Elves hate it even more than ordinary this,” said Granny. “Like I said, per-sonal ain’t the same as important. Make yourself useful, Mr. Wizard. You know it’s circle time, don’t you?”Ridcully’s hand touched the brim of his hat.“Oh, yes.”“And you know what that means?”“They tell me it means that the walls between realities186get weaker. The circles are . . . what’s the word Stibbons uses? Isoresons. They connect levels of, oh, something daft . .. similar levels of reality. Which is bloody stupid. You’d be able to walk

How’d he get through?”
“He was holding on to me. I don’t know how it works. Maybe the stone . . . force opens to let humans through, or something. Just so long as his friends stay inside, that’s all I’m bothered about.”
Nanny heaved the unconscious elf on to her shoulders
without much effort.*
“Smells worse than the bottom of a goat’s bed,” she said.
“It’s a bath for me their hearts that the universe really doesn’t know what the hell is going on and consists of a zillion trillion billion possibilities, and could become any one of them if a trained mind rigid with quantum certainty was inserted in the crack and twisted;
that, if you really had to make someone’s hat explode, all you needed to do was twist into that universe where a large number of hat molecules all decide at the same time to bounce off in different directions.

They were acting extremely worried.
So she went for a lie down, as only Granny Weatherwax knew how.
Nanny Ogg tried a different way, which didn’t have much to do with witchcraft but did have a lot to do with her general Oggishness.
She sat for a lay on his back with all four paws in the air, doing his cele-brated something-found-in-the-gutter impersonation.
Finally Nanny got up and ambled thoughtfully down to Jason Ogg’s smithy.
A smithy always occupied an important position in the villages, doing the duty of town hall, meeting room, and general clearing house for gossip. Several men were loung-ing around in it now, filling in time between the normal Lancre occupations of poaching and watching the women do the work.

Aren't you going to watch the battle? I need someone to watch the battle."
Didactylos was sitting on a rock, his hands folded on his stick.
"Oh, hello," said Brutha, bitterly. "Welcome to Omnia."
"It helps if you're philosophical about it," said Didactylos.
"But there's no reason to fight!"
"Yes there is. Honor and revenge and duty and things like that."
"Do you really think so? I thought philosophers were supposed to be logical?"
Didactylos shrugged.
"Well, the way I see it, logic is only a way of being ignorant by numbers."
"I thought

Something like a golden comet sped across the sky of the Discworld. Om soared like an eagle, buoyed up by the freshness, by the strength of the belief. For as long as it lasted, anyway. Belief this hot, this desperate, never lasted long. Human minds could not sustain it. But while it did last, he was strong.
The central spire of Cori Celesti rises up from the mountains at the Hub, ten vertical miles of green ice and snow, topped by the turrets and domes of Dunmanifestin.it would all be over when Vorbis was dead."Didactylos stared into his inner world."It takes a long time for people like Vorbis to die. They leave echoes in history.""I know what you mean.""How's Urn's steam machine?" said Didactylos."I think he's a bit upset about it," said Brutha.Didactylos cackled and banged his stick on the ground."Hah! He's learning! Everything works both ways!""It should do," said Brutha.

him," said Brutha hoarsely. "It may mean that he's too far away. I keep on thinking that. He might be out there somewhere. Miles away!"
Lu-Tze smiled it and had a sip. It tasted like hot water with a lavender bag in it.
"You don't understand anything I'm talking about, do you?" said Brutha.
"Not much," said Lu-Tze.
"You can talk?"
Lu-Tze put a wisened finger to his lips.
"Big secret," he said.
Brutha looked at the little man. How much did he know about him? How much did anyone know about him?
"You talk to God," said Lu-Tze.
"How do you know that?"and nodded."It'll happen all over again. He never told anyone to do anything. Or not to do anything. He didn't care!"Lu-Tze nodded and smiled again. His teeth were yellow. They were in fact his two-hundredth set."He should have cared."Lu-Tze disappeared into his corner again and returned with a shallow bowl full of some kind of tea. He nodded and smiled and proffered it until Brutha took

did we do, Urn?" said Didactylos.
"We're fifty-two obols up, master."
"See? Every day things improve. Pity it didn't know the difference between ten and twelve, though. Cut one of its legs off and we'll have a stew."
"Cut off a leg?"
"Well, a tortoise like that, you don't eat it all at once."
Didactylos turned his face towards a plump young man with splayed feet and a red face, who was staring at the tortoise.
"Yes?" he said.
"The tortoise does know the difference between ten and twelve," said the fat boy.
"Damn thing just lost me eighty obols," said Didactylos.
"Yes. But tomorrow . . ." the boy began, his eyes glazing as if he was carefully repeating something he'd just heard ". . . tomorrow . . . you should be able to get odds of at least three to one."

"He's a God," said Brutha.
"Really? What's his name?" said the philosopher.
"Don't tell him! Don't tell him! The local gods'll hear!"
"I don't know," said Brutha.
Didactylos turned Om over.mouth dropped open."Give me the tortoise, Urn," he said.The apprentice philosopher reached down and picked up Om, very carefully."You know, I thought right at the start there was something funny about this creature," said Didactylos. "I said to Urn, there's tomorrow's dinner, and then he says no, it's dragging its tail in the sand and doing geometry. That doesn't come natural to a tortoise, geometry."Om's eye turned to Brutha."I had to," he said. "It was the only way to get his attention. Now I've got him by the curiosity. When you've got 'em by the curiosity, their hearts and minds will
