|
||||
Moist Von Lipwig had done some heavy work once and couldn't see any future
|
||||
in it, but he could look at it for hours, provided other people were doing
|
||||
it, of course, and clearly some of them liked what they were doing, and so
|
||||
he shrugged and felt happy that Crisp was happy being a handyman whilst
|
||||
Moist was happy not picking up anything that was heavier than a glass.
|
||||
After all, his work was unseen and depended on words, which were
|
||||
fortunately not very heavy and didn't need grease. In his career as a
|
||||
crook they had served him well and now he felt somewhat smug at using them
|
||||
to the benefit of the citizenry.
|
||||
|
||||
There was a difference between a banker and a crook, there really was, and
|
||||
although it was very, very teeny Moist felt that he should point out that
|
||||
it did exist and, besides, Lord Vetinari always had his eye on him.
|
||||
|
||||
So everybody was happy and Moist went to work in very clean clothes and
|
||||
with a very clean conscience.

|

Harry, red-faced and impatient, looked over his desk and said to him, "Lad,
|
||||
time is money and I'm a busy man. You told Nancy down on reception that
|
||||
you've got something I might like. Now stop fidgeting and look me in the
|
||||
face square like. If you're another chancer wanting to bamboozle me I'll
|
||||
have you down the Effing stairs(1) before you know it."
|
||||
|
||||
(1) The wonderfully colored oak wood of the Effing Forest was much in
|
||||
demand for high-class joinery.

|

Moist knew about the zeitgeist, he tasted it in the wind, and sometimes it
|
||||
allowed him to play with it. He understood it, and now it hinted at speed,
|
||||
escape, something wonderfully new, the very bones of the land awakening,
|
||||
and suddenly it seemed to cry out for motion, new horizons, faraway places,
|
||||
/anywhere that is not here/! No doubt about it, the railway was going to
|
||||
turn coal into gold.
