"Why've you got broomsticks?" shouted the driver. "Are you witches?"
"Yes. Have you got any special low terms for witches?"
"Yeah, how about 'meddling, interfering old baggages'?"
Cutoff felt that he must have missed part of the conversation, because the
next exchange went like this:
"What was that again, young man?"
"Two complimentary tickets to Ankh-Morpork, ma'am. No problem."
"Inside seats, mind. No traveling on the top."
"Certainly, ma'am. Excuse me while I just kneel in the dirt so's you can
step up, ma'am."
Cutoff nodded happily to himself as the coach pulled away again. It was
nice to see that good manners and courtesy were still alive.

The soul of Mr. Pounder looked at his hands. They seemed to be elongating,
and getting hairier. He could feel his ears growing, and a certain rather
embarrassing elongation at the base of his spine. He'd spent most of his
life in a single-minded activity in dark places, yet even so...
"But I don't /believe/ in reincarnation!" he protested.
SQUEAK.
And this, Mr. Pounder understood with absolute rodent clarity, meant:
reincarnation believes in /you/.
