That's a shame. I've done good Business here. Too magical, they say! What's wrong with magic, that's what I'd like to know?'

'Oh, go to some other universe, there's plenty around,' said the shopkeeper airily. 'Thanks for telling me about the star, though. Can I drop you off somewhere?'

'The star is life, not death,' said Riricewind.
'How's that?'
'How's what?'
'You did it again!' said Twoflower, pointing an accusing finger. 'You say things and then don't know you've said them!'

I want to go too,' he added defiantly. 'Can you get us there?''Is that the big city on the Ankh? Sprawling place, smells of cesspits?''It has an ancient and honourable history,' said Rincewind, his voice stiff with injured civic pride.'That's not how you described it to me,' said Twoflower.
