Corporal Cheery Littlebottom pronounced her name "Cheri." She was a she,
|
||||
and therefore a rare bloom in Ankh-Morpork.
|
||||
|
||||
It wasn't that dwarfs weren't interested in sex. They saw the vital need
|
||||
for fresh dwarfs to leave their goods to and continue the mining work
|
||||
after they had gone. It was simply that they also saw no point in
|
||||
distinguishing between the sexes anywhere but in private. There was no
|
||||
such thing as a Dwarfish female pronoun or, once the children were on
|
||||
solids, any such thing as women's work.
|
||||
|
||||
Then Cheery Littlebottom had arrived in Ankh-Morpork, and had seen that
|
||||
there were men out there who did /not/ wear chain mail or leather
|
||||
underwear(1), but /did/ wear interesting colors and exciting makeup, and
|
||||
these men were called "women."
|
||||
|
||||
And in the little bullet head the thought had arisen: "Why not me?"
|
||||
|
||||
Now she was being denounced in cellars and dwarf bars across the city as
|
||||
the first dwarf in Ankh-Morpork to wear a skirt. It was hard-wearing
|
||||
brown leather and as objectively erotic as a piece of wood but, as some
|
||||
older dwarfs would point out, somewhere under there were his /knees/.(2)
|
||||
|
||||
(1) At least of the sort /she/ normally wore.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) They couldn't bring themselves to utter the word "her."

Uberwald [...] was mostly so thickly forested, so creased by little
|
||||
mountain ranges and beset by rivers, that it was largely unmapped. It
|
||||
was mostly unexplored, too.(1)
|
||||
|
||||
(1) At least, by proper explorers. Just living there doesn't count.

[...] Sam Vines had learned a lot from watching Lady Sybil. She didn't
|
||||
mean to act like that, but she'd been born to it, into a class which had
|
||||
always behaved this way: You went through the world as if there was
|
||||
/no possibility/ that anyone would stop you or question you, and most of
|
||||
the time that's exactly what didn't happen.

Silver stars weren't awarded frequently, and gold stars happened less
