It wasn't much fun being a student in Unseen University. You had to find your pleasures where you could. He grinned a big, wide, innocent grin.
'Why, yes,' he said. 'I do believe right at this moment he's in his workroom in the basement. But you have to be very careful how you?'

'Don't mention it. Only too glad to help.'
The three wizards led Glod down a flight of steps and into a tunnel. Light filtered down through the occasional pane of green glass set in the floor above. Every so often Glod heard a snigger behind address him.''Is that so?' said Glod.'Yes, you have to be sure to say, "Do you want a peanut, Mr Monkey?"' said the student wizard. He signalled a couple of his colleagues. 'That's so, isn't it? He has to say Mister Monkey.''Oh, yes indeedy,' said a student.

He was aware of their 'That's probably an angry mob right now,' said Nobby.
Carrot opened the door.
'It's not an angry mob,' he announced.
'Ook.'
'It's an orang-utan carrying a stunned dwarf followed by a troll. But he is quite angry, if that's any help.'

Lady Ramkin's butler, Willikins, had filled him a big bath. Hahexpressions.'I don't think we could make that stick,' said Colon.'It stuck all right,' said Nobby, 'and some of it went down my shirt.''Why throw things at you?' said Angua.'It's 'cos I was a Watchman,' said Nobby. 'The dwarfs don't like the Watch 'cos of Mr Hammerhock, and the trolls don't like the Watch 'cos of Coalface being arrested, and people don't like the Watch 'cos of all these angry dwarfs and trolls around.'Someone thumped at the door.
