"At least I can still get about in my usual fashion if I wish, although I seem to be stuck in time. That gives me some hope. Although I have to admit to using the public transportation system to get a better feel for things."
"Dark magic?" Susan raised an eyebrow again. "An unusual concept. Magic has no shade, it is only the intent of the user. Were I at home, I would say it sounds like a case of doing away with them all and letting Grandfather sort them out. I suppose it is fortunate that I am neither wizard or witch then."
She nodded. "A strange place of sorts. At least the population is a strange mixture. Like home in many ways. Ankh-Morpork certainly had its share of strange characters. We also had a few heroes of Mythic proportions. It sounds like you could have used one of them where you are from."
"There you go then. I have applied for various executive sorts of positions to try to get around the stupid superior problem, but since Grandfather isn't around to verify my references of having worked for him, nothing has come of it so far. I shall have to just keep trying, and keep my job as a governess in the mean time."
