The worst part, the worst part, was that Lord de Worde was never wrong. It was not a position he understood in relation to his personal geography. People who took an opposing view were insane, or dangerous, or possibly not even people. You couldn't have an argument with Lord de Worde. Not a proper argument. An argument, from arguer, meant to debate and discuss and persuade by reason. What you could have with William's father was a flaming row.

The Truth, pg 290 (UK)

After the Ankh-Morpork debacle, Lord de Worde went on to be a pundit on American political talk shows.



Mr Pin, based largely on what I'd absorbed of Mr Kidby's illustration (quite a lot) with a dash of whoever played Mr Lush in my sister's DVD of Daniel Deronda.

Charlie (yes, really), in the wine cellar. I forgot to tie him up. Maybe he forgot he was tied up, too. After all, there's lossa ... wossname ... stuff you get in brel... bar... braller... things.

And now, from Guards! Guards!:

Lupine Wonse, after the coronation – I admit he looks like a really bland character but really I find it hard to picture him any other way. It's been so long since I've read this book; I had hardly any memory of any of it.* I'd always discounted it as the sort of proto-Watch book where the characters weren't really defined yet, and in a way they are a little raw, but it's so good. Ah well, the neglect has kept it fresh.

*Aside from the description of Vimes's breakfast, which runs along the lines of 'lots of fat and carbohydrates, and perhaps a vitamin weeping softly because it was all alone.'
