"Can't decide which city to visit?" Angua asked dryly, pausing in her walk. This place was making her go a little crazy, what with the whole striking up conversations with random people thing. Or maybe it was just her copper's sense tingling, the woman looked livid. People that angry were sometimes prone to making bad choices.
"Very amusing. Oh yes. You ought to join a circus and tell those sorts of jokes to get people to ask the lion to eat them," Adora Belle muttered, only half-under her breath.

"Yes." Even if it was called something else. "Interested in joining?" she asked, though it was quite obviously not asked in seriousness. But who knew, if some of the other IPD members were to be judged her guess was that the IPD took all sorts. Same as home.
"Not unless they supply free cigarettes," said Miss Dearheart. Unlikely, she knew. She'd met Vimes, anyway, and he hadn't mentioned anything of the kind. Though he had been smoking a cigar.
"Besides, I don't think they'd condone what I'm considering doing at the moment." Murder was generally unacceptable to the Watch unless you paid them enough to look the other way, and even then you had people like Vimes to deal with.
