"Oh, and there is one other thing, " the Patrician said, as the wizard groped for the door handles.
"Yes, lord?" he replied, with a sinking heart.
"I'm sure you won't dream of trying to escape from your obligations by fleeing the city. I judge you to be a born city person. But you may be sure that the lords of the other cities will be appraised of these conditions by nightfall."
"I assure you the thought never even crossed my mind, Lord."
"Indeed? Then if I were you I'd sue my face for slander."
Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic (p.26)
