"As for the folk-dance people-well, no problem there. You know you always wondered what Corporal Nobbs does on his evenings off?"
Colon's face split into a watermelon grin.
"No!" said Vimes incredulously. "Not Nobby?"
"Yep!" said Colon, delighted at the result.
"What, jumping about with bells on and waving his hanky in the air?"
"He says it is important to preserve old folkways," said Colon.
"Nobby? Mr Steel-toecaps-in-the-groin, I-was-just-checking-the-doorhandle-and-it-opened-all-by-itself ?''
"Yeah! Funny old world, ain't it? He was very bashful about it."
"Good grief," said Vimes.
