+The pixie's eyes gleamed happily.
+
+"Oh, there's a wee bitty thing the Carlin' Ogg said you could be givin' us,
+hardly important at all," he said.

+"Anything," said Verence.

+A couple of pixies came up staggering under a rolled-up parchment, which

+"It's called a signature," he said, as Verence stared at the tiny
+handwriting.  "An' make sure ye initial all the sub-clauses and codicils.
+We of the Nac mac Feegle are a simple folk," he added, "but we write verra

+%passage 7
+Vampires are not naturally cooperative creatures.  It's not in their nature.
+Every other vampire is a rival for the next meal.  In fact, the ideal
+situation for a vampire is a world in which every other vampire has been
+killed off and no one seriously believes in vampires anymore.  They are by
+nature as cooperative as sharks.
+
+Vampyres are just the same, the only real difference being that they can't
+spell properly.
