A novel of Discworld
What's going wrong in Discworld now? It's quite simple really. Some idiot has been commissioned to build the perfect clock. If this clock is started, Time will stop. This is bad. Therefore, the Monks of History have sent the famous Lu-Tze and his new apprentice Lobsang Ludd to stop it. Death (yes, Death, you know, tall, skeletal, wears black, carries a scyth, shows up when you die? Ring any bells?) has also taken an interest in the clock and it's effect on Time. He has asked his granddaughter, Miss Susan, to investigate and see what she can do. She is most definitely Miss Susan, not Susan, or Sue, or anything else, and is a schoolteacher. This is a very good book and is very funny. Read it, enjoy it, and above all always remember Rule One. Heheheh.
What about being a schoolteacher makes people want to be called Miss? Or is there another reason for the title in this case?
ReplyDeleteAlso, it would be easier for me to remember Rule One if you told me what it is.
Not sure about the schoolteacher thing or why she wants to be called Miss Susan. She just does. Rule One is this: Do not act incautiously when confronted with a little bald smiling wrinkly man.
ReplyDeleteI think that's it. The actual wording may be a little different.

ReplyDeleteI don't really have a fav quote, but Rule One is definetly up there! Lu-Tze is always so dissapointed that more people don't know that one. sigh.
