Dear Mother and Father [wrote Carrot

 ...   

Dear Mother and Father [wrote Carrot, in between staring dutifully into the fog] Well, the town is On Fate for the coronation, which is more complicated than at home, and now I am on Day duty as well. This is a shame because, I was going to watch the Coronation with Reel, but it does not do to complain. I must go now because we are expecting a dragon any minute although it does not exist really. Your loving son, Carrot. PS. Have you seen anything of Minty lately?   

...   

"You idiot!" 
"Sorry," said Vimes. "Sorry." 
People were climbing back into their seats, many of them giving him furious looks. Wonse was white with fury. 
"How could you have been so stupid? " he raged. 
Vimes stared at his own fingers. 
"I thought I saw.1 commentTweetThe nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-90-yellow-c-203_205.html">nike air max 90 yellow+ 2012 boasts a tremendous range of colorblocking possibilities thanks to its layered Hyperfuse construction, but even with all this modern technology at work, some of the best colorways all year have been the most basic...." he began. 
"It was a raven! You know what ravens are? There must be hundreds of them in the city!" 
"In the fog, you see, the size wasn't easy to..." Vimes mumbled. 
"And poor Master Greetling, you ought to have known what loud noises do to him!" The head of the Teachers' Guild had to be led away by some kind people. 
"Shouting out like that!" Wonse went on. 
"Look, I said I'm sorry! It was an honest mistake!" 
"I've had to hold up the procession and everything!" 
Vimes said nothing. He could feel hundreds of amused or unsympathetic eyes on him. 
"Well," he muttered, "I'd better be getting back to the Yard..." 
Wonse's eyes narrowed. "No," he snapped. "But you can go home, if you like.?With a distinct gradient perforation that can't be compared to all that many designs in history, Hussein Chalayan's Puma Haast places its name alongside standouts like the Air Moire and its nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-2011-yellow-c-203_204.html">nike air max 2011 yellow 90 Current hybrid.. Or anywhere your fancies take you. Give me your badge." 
"Huh?" 
Wonse held out his hand. 
"Your badge," he repeated. 
"My badge?" 
"That's what I said. I want to keep you out of trouble." 
Vimes looked at him in astonishment. "But it's my badge!" 
"And you're going to give it to me," said Wonse grimly. "By order of the king." 
"What d'you mean? He doesn't even know!" Vimes heard the wailing in his own voice. 
Wonse scowled. "But he will," he said. "And I don't expect he'll even bother to appoint a successor." 
Vimes slowly undipped the verdigrised disc of copper, weighed it in his hand, and then tossed it to Wonse without a word. 
For a moment he considered pleading, but something rebelled. He turned, and stalked off through the crowd. 
So that was it.1 commentTweetThe upcoming VNTG and EM renditions of nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-1-yellow-c-203_206.html">nike air max 1 yellow classics act like opposites of one another, with one going the rewind route and adding some aged yellowing and the other upgrading the build with Engineered Mesh.czfnk04. 
As simple as that. After half a lifetime of service. No more City Watch. Huh. Vimes kicked at the pavement. It'd be some sort of Royal Guard now. 
With plumes in their damn helmets. 
Well, he'd had enough. It wasn't a proper life anyway, in the Watch. You didn't meet people in the best of circumstances. There must be hundreds of other things he could do, and if he thought for long enough he could probably remember what some of them were. 
Pseudopolis Yard was off the route of the procession, and as he stumbled into the Watch House he could hear the distant cheering beyond the rooftops. Across the city the temple gongs were being sounded. 
Now they are ringing the gongs, thought Vimes, but soon they will-they will-they will not be ringing the gongs. Not much of an aphorism, he thought, but he could work on it. He had the time, now.
