Meanwhile, over Holy Wood, the fog thickened . . .

The posters for Blown Away had been circulating in Ankh­Morpork for several days, and interest was running at fever pitch.
’ said the Chair of Indefinite Studies. He was one of the fattest wizards, and so overstuffed that he seemed to be living up to his title. He looked as though horsehair should be leaking from frayed patches. People felt an overpowering urge to rummage down the side of him for loose change.
‘What’s "It", Chair?’ said another wizard.
‘Oh, you know. It. Oomph. The old way‑hey‑hey.’They’d even got as far as the University this time. The Librarian had one pinned up in the fetid, book‑lined nest he called and various others were surreptitiously circulating among the wizards themselves.The artist had produced a masterpiece. Held in Victor’s arms, against the background of the flaming city, Ginger was portrayed as not only showing nearly all she had but quite a lot of what she had not, strictly speaking, got.The effect on the wizards was everything that Dibbler could possibly have hoped for. In the Uncommon Room, the poster was passed from hand to shaking hand as if it might explode.‘There’s a girl who’s got It,

Dibbler raised his hands. ‘I said I’d raise the money somehow,’ he said, ‘and Sham Harga’s even helping us with the food for the barbecue scene.’
‘You said you weren’t going to interfere with the script!’
‘That’s not interfering,’ said Dibbler stolidly. ‘I don’t see how that could be considered interfering. I just polished it up here and there. I think it’s rather an improvement. Besides, Harp’s All‑You­Can‑Gobble‑For‑A‑Dollar is amazing value these days.’
‘But the click is set hundreds of years ago!’ shouted Soll.
‘We=ell,’ ‘Right. Certainly. Gaspode, stay. There’s a good dog.’ Victor derived a quiet satisfaction from the brief look of pure disgust that flashed across Gaspode’s face.
Behind them the eternal Holy Wood argument had wound said Dibbler. ‘I suppose someone could say, "I wonder if the food at Harga’s House of Ribs will still be as good in hundreds of years’ time‑" ‘‘That isn’t moving pictures. That is crass commerce!’‘I hope so,’ said Dibbler. ‘We’re in real trouble if it isn’t.’‘Now look‑‘ Soll began, threateningly.Ginger turned to Victor.‘Can we go somewhere and talk?’ she said, quietly. ‘Without your dog,’ she added, in her normal voice. ‘Definitely without your dog.’‘You want to talk to me?’ said Victor.‘There hasn’t been much of a chance, has there?’

gave Soll a long, thoughtful scrutiny. Then, when the attention was no longer on them, he sidled closer to the newcomer, looked it up and down, and spoke quietly out of the corner of his mouth.
‘What you here for?’ he said.
The dog gave him a look of handsome incomprehension.
‘I mean, do ‘This is Holy Wood,’ said Gaspode conversationally. ‘I’m Gaspode. Named after the famous Gaspode, you know. Anythin’ you want to know, you just-’
‘All dese two-legs here. Dur . . . What dis place?’
Gaspode stared.
At that moment Dibbler’s door opened. Victor emerged, coughing, at one end of you b’long to someone or what?’ said Gaspode. The dog whined softly. Gaspode tried Basic Canine, which is a combination of whines and sniffs. ‘Hallo?’ he ventured. ‘Anyone in there?’ The dog’s tail thumped uncertainly. ‘The grub here’s ruddy awful,’ said Gaspode. The dog raised its highly-bred muzzle. ‘What dis place?’ it said.

Rock put up a craggy arm.
‘Yes?’ demanded Silverfish.
‘If you’ve got some grey paint an’ stuff to make the ears out of, I’m sure me an’ Morry could–’
‘No-one’s ever done a three-reeler,’ said Gaffer reflectively. ‘Could be really tricky. I mean, it’d be nearly ten minutes long.’ He looked thoughtful. ‘I suppose if I was to make the spools bigger-’
Silverfish knew he was cornered.
‘Now look here,’ he began.

Everyone else was ignoring them. ‘Er,’ he said, ‘I don’t think we’ve been formally introduced?’ ‘You didn’t seem to let that stop you,’ she said. ‘I wouldn’t normally do something like that. I must have been . . . ill. Or something.’ ‘Oh, good. And that makes me feel a lot better, does it?’ ‘Shall we sit in the shade? It’s very hot out here.’ ‘Your eyes went all . . . smouldery.’ ‘Did they?’ ‘They looked really odd.’ ‘I felt really odd.’ ‘I know. It’s this place. It gets to you. D’you

‘OK,’ he said. ‘Right. OK? What, right, what is the name of the outerdimensional monster whose distinctive cry is "Yerwhatyerwhatyerwhat"?’

‘Yeah. How does the monster Tshup Aklathep, Infernal Star Toad with A Million Young, torture its victims to death?’ bell tower, had just tolled its twelve sonorous silences. Rainclouds squeezed their last few drops over the city. Ankh-Morpork sprawled under a few damp stars, as real as a brick. Ponder Stibbons, student wizard, put down his book and rubbed his face. ‘All right,’ he said. ‘Ask me anything. Go on. Anything at all.’ Victor Tugelbend, student wizard, picked up his battered copy of Necrotelicomnicon Discussed for Students, with Practical Experiments and turned the pages at random. He was lying on Ponder’s bed. At least, his shoulder blades were. His

Silence. The priest was aware that everyone was staring at him.
Then worshipper by his arms and legs and gave him a high-speed run across the stones to the edge of the balcony, over the parapet and into the mud-coloured waters of the Djel.
He surfaced, spluttering.
'What did you go and do that for?' he demanded. 'You all know I'm right. None of you really-'
The waters of the Djel opened a lazy jaw, and he vanished, just as the huge winged someone said, 'Why are you shouting into that bulrush?' 'Sorry. Don't know what came over me there.' The priestess of Sarduk, Goddess of Caves, snorted at him. 'Suppose one of them had dropped it?' she snapped. 'But . . . but . . .' He swallowed. 'It's not possible, is it? Not really? We all must have eaten something, or been out in the sun too long, or something. Because, I mean, everyone knows that the gods aren't . . . I mean, the sun is a big flaming ball of gas, isn't it, that goes around the whole world every day, and, and, and the gods... well, you know, there's a very real need in people to believe, don't get me wrong here-' Koomi, even with his head buzzing with thoughts of perfidy, was quicker on the uptake than his colleagues. 'Get him, lads!' he shouted. Four priests grabbed the luckless cutlery

His in the river .
He watched two of the servants load Teppic's trunk on to the back of the coach, and for the first time either of them could remember laid a paternal hand on his son's shoulder.
In fact he was at a loss for something to say. We've never really had time to get ancestors had been keen on pyramids. The pharaoh wasn't. Pyramids had bankrupted the country, drained it drier than ever the river did. The only curse they could afford to put on a tomb these days was 'Bugger Off'. The only pyramids he felt comfortable about were the very small ones at the bottom of the garden, built every time one of the cats died. He'd promised the boy's mother. He missed Artela. There'd been a terrible row about taking a wife from outside the Kingdom, and some of her foreign ways had puzzled and fascinated even him. Maybe it was from her he'd got the strange dislike of pyramids; in Djelibeybi that was like disliking breathing. But he'd promised that Pteppic could go to school outside the kingdom. She'd been insistent about that. 'People never learn anything in this place,' she'd said. 'They only remember things.' If only she'd remembered about not swimming
