“Granny Weatherwax personally disliked young Pewsey. She disliked all small children, which is why she got on with them so well. In Pewsey's case, she felt that no one should be allowed to wander around in just a vest even if they were four years old. And the child had a permanently runny nose and ought to be provided with a handkerchief or, failing that, a cork. Nanny Ogg, on the other hand, was instant putty in the hands of any grandchild, even one as sticky as Pewsey "Want sweetie," growled Pewsey, in that curiously deep voice some young children have. "Just in a moment, my duck, I'm talking to the lady," Nanny Ogg fluted. "Want sweetie now." "Bugger off, my precious, Nana's busy right this minute." Pewsey pulled hard on Nanny Ogg's skirts. "Now sweetie now!" Granny Weatherwax leaned down until her impressive nose was about level with Pewsey's gushing one. "If you don't go away," she said gravely, "I will personally rip your head off and fill it with snakes." "There!" said Nanny Ogg. "There's lots of poor children in Klatch that'd be grateful for a curse like that." Pewsey's little face, after a second or two of uncertainty, split into a pumpkin grin. "Funny lady," he said.”

“They ask me things like: what is the right way to address a duke? An’ once again I have to point out that it is a matter of fine details, such as, if there’s a gate needs holdin’ open and it looks like half a dollar might be forthcoming, it’s ‘G’day, your graciousness,’ whereas if you’ve just set fire to his ancestral piles and the mob is breakin’ the windows it is more suitable to address him as ‘you bloated lying blutocat!’ It is all a matter of finesse”

“Magrat, folluğa yerleşen iki tavuk gibi kıç tarafta rahat etmeye çalışan iki yaşlı cadıya baktı. "Kürek çekmeyi biliyor musunuz?" dedi. "Bilmemiz gerekmiyor," dedi Nine. Magrat kasvetle başını salladı. Sonra çok minik bir iddialılık kırıntısı, kendisini bir an gösterdi. "Ben de bildiğimi sanmıyorum," diye denedi. "Sorun değil," dedi Ogg Ana hemen. "Yanlış yaptığını görürsek söyleriz. Bay bay, kral hazretleri." Magrat pes etti. İçini çekti ve kürekleri aldı. "Yassı tarafı suya girecek," dedi Nine yardımseverlikle.”
