+%passage 11
+"This is certainly a very... /original/ cart," said Rincewind.
+
+"Got a few modifications of my own," said Mad. He grinned evilly. "You a
+wizard, mister?"
+
+"Broadly speaking, yes."
+
+"Any good?" Mad was loading another crossbow.
+
+Rincewind hesitated. "No," he said.
+
+"Lucky for you," said Mad. "I'd have killed you if you were. Can't stand
+wizards. Bunch of wowsers, right?"
+
+He grasped the handles of the bent stovepipe and swiveled it around.
+
+"Here they come," he muttered.
+
+Rincewind peered over the top of Mad's head. There was a piece of mirror
+in the bend of the pipe. It showed the road behind, and half a dozen dots
+under another cloud of red dust.
+
+"Road gang," said Mad. "After my cargo. Steal anything, they will. All
+bastards are bastards, but some bastards is /bastards/." [...]

+%e passage
+# pp. 246-247 (Ponder Stibbins had stayed behind, then changed his mind and
+# isn't wearing his robe after swimming to catch up with the
+# senior wizards' boat; Ridcully is smoking a pipe)
+%passage 12
+"And, while it is good to see you, Stibbins, albeit rather more of you
+than I would usually care to contemplate, I am moved to ask why you are,
+in fact, here."
+
+"I suddenly felt it would be unfair to deprive the University of my
+services, sir."
+
+"Really? A sudden rush of nostalgia for the old alma mater, eh?"
+
+"You could say that, sir."
+
+Ridcully's eyes twinkled behind the smoke and, not for the first time,
+Ponder suspected that the man was sometimes rather cleverer than he
+appeared. It would not be hard.
+
+ [The Last Continent, by Terry Pratchett]
+%e passage
+# p. 263 (Rincewind is going to be executed the next day; a previous prisoner
+# who was well known for multiple escapes had scratched "look at the
+# hinges" on the cell's wall--the cell's door just lifts off)
+%passage 13
+At moments like this cowardice was an exact science. There were times
+that called for mindless, terror-filled panic, and times that called for
+measured, considered, /thoughtful/ panic. Right now he was in a place of
+safety. It was, admittedly, the death cell, but the point was that it
+was perhaps the one place in this country where nothing bad was going to
+happen for a little while. The Ecksians didn't look like the kind of
+people who went in for torture, although it was always possible that they
+might make him eat some more of their food. So, for the moment, he had
+/time/. Time to plan ahead, to consider his next move, to apply his
+intellect to the problem at hand.
+
+He stared at the wall for a moment, then stood up and gripped the bars.
+
+Right. That seemed to be about long enough. Now to run like hell.
+
+ [The Last Continent, by Terry Pratchett]
+%e passage
+# pp. 333-334 (passage starts mid-paragraph and ends mid-paragraph; Rincewind
+# has asked whether a haunted brewery might have been built on a
+# site that's sacred to indigenous people; the answer is no)
+%passage 14
+"[...] Some chief went to prison to see the prime minister and said,
+'Mate, your mob can dig it all up and drop it over the edge of the world,
+no worries.'"
+
+"Why did he have to go to prison?"
+
+"We put all our politicians in prison as soon as they're elected. Don't
+you?"
+
+"Why?"
+
+"It saves time. [...]"
