Ask A Lancre Witch

Not a day goes past where I ain't glad I was born in Lancre. People 'ere know that they can ask us Witches anythin' and we'll know the answer, us being the suppositories of tradition and all that. But it occurs to me - woman of the world as I am - that not everyone in foreign parts has a Witch who will stop them going around all bewildered and full of uncertainty. So I took it upon myself to smooth out the lumpy bits on the pathway that is life by taking some time to answer any questions you might have, me being a beacon of rectitude an' knowledge around these parts. Don't be shy now.

This is me here; Nanny that is, ritin righting writin’ to you from Ankh-Morpork. What a journey we’ve had, I don’t mind tellin’ you. Don’t ask me about bareback riding! But the main thing is that we’re here now an’ mostly in one piece. Esme and me, well we went and joined a guild. Well, that is to say I joined a guild. Esme says she doesn’t need anyone else’s rules but her own; I have a feelin’ that she’ll come ‘round after she’s seen the place. 

Ain’t it fitting for a woman of my station? Right fanci lookin’. 

But also what I was meanin’ to say was that you can see what we’ve been up to - as in me and Esme specific like - by havin’ a look right here.

Now, I’m off to find out why they call this place The Big Wahoonie.

Esme, did you put them up to this? 

Well blow me down. I ain’t seen this in years; ‘ere Esme come’n ‘ave a look at this.
