Summary
It took place in Sator Square, near the middle, where irate speakers would generally whine at length about the things they cared a lot and knew a little about. Today, however, there was just an uncomfortable looking Samuel Vimes and the newly-minted Sybil Vimes, who was practicing supportively watching whatever her husband might be doing. According to some rules Carrot found, the wife had to be there, but they hadn’t been clear about what she was actually supposed to do. According to the same rules, Vimes really ought to have done quite a lot – up to and including sacrificing a virginal pig and smearing its guts on his face – last night, but he’d drawn the line when it came to the part where he had to diet.
Because we never got a "Vimes being knighted" scene, and I think that's a real shame.

Summary
Downey thinks he would have killed Cruces, thinks Cruces should have killed Vetinari, thinks that he could have killed the both of them, and kicks a chair, in that order.

Summary
To say that Sybil wasn’t prone to dramatics would be like saying that she had a tidy little fund tucked away for a rainy day, or a passing interest in dragons - which is to say, a massive understatement. This put her in the very unhappy position of knowing exactly how to tell her husband what he needed to do, but having absolutely no idea how to ask for what she wanted.

Summary
It was a question of distraction. Humans needed to have more than one thing going on in their lives, not because it made them more productive but because it made them less. Captain Samuel Vimes had proven himself to be extremely efficient when he put his mind to it, and The Patrician was not amused. Oh, it was all well and good now, this time, when he was the one who benefited from these aptitudes, but there was bound to be a time in the future when Samuel Vimes would be a problem. When that happened he would need something in his life besides The Watch.
Samuel Vimes did not have hobbies, outside of drinking, and he appeared to be giving that up in favor of doing his job. The horror. He had no living family, and the only friends the Captain appeared to have were his coworkers.
Something would have to be done.
