There Should Have Been Violins

Description

- there should have been violins. The murmur of the crowd should have faded away, and the crowd itself should have parted in a quite natural movement to leave an empty path between her and Ridcully.
There should have been violins. There should have been something.
There shouldn't have been the Librarian accidently knuckling her on the toe on his way to the buffet, but this, in fact, there was.
She hardly noticed.
"Esme?" said Ridcully.
"Mustrum?" said Granny Weatherwax.
Nanny Ogg bustled up.
"Esme, I saw Millie Chillum and she said-"
Granny Weatherwax's vicious elbow jab winded her.
Nanny took in the scene.
"Ah," she said, "I'll just, I'll just... I'll just go away, then."
The gazes locked again.
The Librarian knuckled past again with an entire display of fruit.
Granny Weatherwax paid him no heed.
The Bursar, who was currently on the median point of his cycle, tapped Ridcully on the shoulder.
"I say, Archchancellor, these quails' eggs are amazingly go-"
"DROP DEAD. Mr. Stibbons, fish out the frog pills and keep knives away from him, please."
The gazes locked again.
"Well, well," said Granny, after a year or so.

Happy May 25th, fellow Discworld fans! I hope you're all wearing your lilacs! :)

Ah, I like. :D
I myself stumbled over my humble Discworld collection recently and have started to re-read the books... But there are so many I haven't read yet... ^^;
