It was your slave but, in a sense, it might be the other way round.

+%passage 9
+Moist Von Lipwig had done some heavy work once and couldn't see any future
+in it, but he could look at it for hours, provided other people were doing
+it, of course, and clearly some of them liked what they were doing, and so
+he shrugged and felt happy that Crisp was happy being a handyman whilst
+Moist was happy not picking up anything that was heavier than a glass.
+After all, his work was unseen and depended on words, which were
+fortunately not very heavy and didn't need grease. In his career as a
+crook they had served him well and now he felt somewhat smug at using them
+to the benefit of the citizenry.
+
+There was a difference between a banker and a crook, there really was, and
+although it was very, very teeny Moist felt that he should point out that
+it did exist and, besides, Lord Vetinari always had his eye on him.
+
+So everybody was happy and Moist went to work in very clean clothes and
+with a very clean conscience.

+Harry, red-faced and impatient, looked over his desk and said to him, "Lad,
+time is money and I'm a busy man. You told Nancy down on reception that
+you've got something I might like. Now stop fidgeting and look me in the
+face square like. If you're another chancer wanting to bamboozle me I'll
+have you down the Effing stairs(1) before you know it."
+
+(1) The wonderfully colored oak wood of the Effing Forest was much in
+demand for high-class joinery.

+%passage 11
+Moist knew about the zeitgeist, he tasted it in the wind, and sometimes it
+allowed him to play with it. He understood it, and now it hinted at speed,
+escape, something wonderfully new, the very bones of the land awakening,
+and suddenly it seemed to cry out for motion, new horizons, faraway places,
+/anywhere that is not here/! No doubt about it, the railway was going to
+turn coal into gold.

'It's an inconvenience, true enough, and I don't like it at all, but I
know that you do it for everyone, Mister Death. Is there any other way?'
-NO, THERE ISN'T, I'M AFRAID. WE ARE ALL FLOATING IN THE WINDS OF TIME.
-BUT YOUR CANDLE, MISTRESS WEATHERWAX, WILL FLICKER FOR SOME TIME BEFORE
-IT GOES OUT -- A LITTLE REWARD FOR A LIFE WELL LIVED. FOR I CAN SEE THE
-BALANCE AND YOU HAVE LEFT THE WORLD MUCH BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, AND
-IF YOU ASK ME, said Death, NOBODY COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT. . .
