'What does it want him for?' said Susan. 'It's using him, but what for?'
'Twenty‑seven 'Dancing,' said Ridcully levelly, walking back along the row. 'That's dancing, is it? Banging into people? Throwin' one another over yer shoulders? Twirling around all over the place? Not even trolls act like that (not that I've got anything against trolls mind you marvellous people marvellous people) and you're supposed to be wizards. People are supposed to look up to you and that's not because you're somersaulting over their heads, Runes, don't think I didn't notice that little display, I was frankly disgusted.

Wizards arrested!'He walked along the row of crestfallen figures.'I mean, how often does the Watch get called in to the Drum?' said Ridcully.

'Keep playing!' he hissed.
Imp obeyed, ducking a fusillade of oranges.
In the front row, the ape opened his bag and produced a very large melon.
'Can you see any pears?' said Glod, taking a breath. 'I like pears.'
'I can see a man with a throwing axe!'
'Does it look valuable?''We ready?' said Lias, picking his hammers.The others nodded.'Let's give 'em "The Wizard's Staff", then,' said Glod. 'That always breaks the ice.''OK,' said the troll. He counted on his fingers. 'One, two . . . one, two, many, lots.'The first apple was thrown seven seconds later. It was caught by Glod, who didn't miss a note. But the first banana curved viciously and grounded in his ear.

He glanced at Colon. 'That's right, isn't it, sergeant?'
'What? Eh? Well, under his makeup, 'I can have a dozen men in here.'
'Believe me,' said Carrot, 'that will only make it easier for me to obey.'
Dr Whiteface prided himself on his ability to judge character. In Carrot's resolute expression there was nothing but absolute, meticulous honesty. He fiddled with a quill pen andyes—''I would much prefer not to do so, but I have no choice,' said Carrot.Dr Whiteface glared at the two of them.'But this is Guild property! You have no right to . . . to . . .''I don't know about that, I'm only a corporal,' said Carrot. 'But I've never disobeyed a direct order yet, and I am sorry to have to tell you that I will carry out this one fully and to the letter.''Now, see here—'Carrot moved a little closer.'If it's any comfort, I'll probably be ashamed about it,' he said.The clown stared into his honest eyes and saw, as did everyone, only simple truth.'Listen!
