When Vetinari wants to wind Vimes up, he's His Grace Commander Sir Samuel Vimes, Duke of Ankh. But here he's not talking about that guy, he's talking about Sam Vimes. Still not necessarily *the actual* Sam Vimes, but the legend of Sam Vimes.

Reading this just triggered a wave of grief for Terry. 😢 Why was such a treasure taken so early when it seems like the bastards he railed against hang on forever?

all those accolades and most remembered for practicality in regards extra monetary outlay to secure long-lasting footwear smh

I believe Vetinari is referring to the one that Vimes drowned during the chase - the werewolf came back, but if they weren't ONLY killable with fire and/or silver, it would have stuck.

I am reminded from this quote from Snuff:

ACAB and Sam Vimes knows that includes Sam Vimes

And despite them being geographically distant, Young Sam heard him.

Vimes' reason for never, ever being late to read to Young Sam is an important rule of life: If you let your standards slip for a good reason, you'll do it for a bad reason.

I'm a Con O'Neill as Vimes truther. And Sharon B Clarke for Sybil

Every day I'm a little saddened and frustrated a certain wizard series got a smash series of movies and not Terry's Discworld books. Heck if they wanted they could knock out each series in one go so as not have the actors age out of roles while they make the other movies.

I'm sorry I can't contribute more to this...but "carries the law with him like a lamp" is so powerful, and is such a wonderful way for Vetinari to compliment, in his own way, Vimes and his beliefs.

Yep. Another demonstration of my theory that Vetenari is Vines biggest fan

Vetinari could be another Vimes/Weatherwax - knows who & what he is, is naturally and profoundly suspicious, and has a strong sense of duty that guides him toward the greater good, if sometimes in a roundabout way. This seems to be Terry's idea of what to do if you're clever and have power.

it occurs to me that, describing someone as 'arresting' is a way to say they're deeply attractive Havelock, are you sliding a flirt into your discussion? you sly dog~
