Bookmark Notes:
Oh. This is so gentle, an interlude between two old men who share and do not share certain memories. Both who are lonely, and not lonely. I like this very much.

Summary
One blustery morning, a short note arrives on Downey's desk that says: Patrician. Sektober 13. Soon after Vetinari receives an old newspaper clipping about the death of a colleague's father that occurred forty years ago. It doesn't take long for things to go a little wahoonie shaped with a dead girl in a tree, a two hundred year old mystery, and a creature stalking the streets of Ankh-Morpork.
Of course, throughout all of this, Vetinari is fending off unsolicited advice from his aunt (buy a lint roller!) and begins to worry that he might be developing an approximation of something like maybe feelings, for a limited value of feelings, for one Master of the Assassins Guild.
Naturally, nothing is every entirely straight forward and some families have old secrets.

I absolutely adore this doyle style of writing, Downey is delightful and gentleman as he is in AG almanach. It flowed nicely, never boring and I really wish to be able to write detective as that.

Summary
Guildmaster Crucible of the Jeweller's Guild thinks he’s clever. Propose a holiday honoring Sam Vimes’ infamous ancestor—the regicide Suffer-Not-Injustice Vimes—and watch the upstart Duke of Ankh squirm under the reminder that his family tree has blood on the roots. But when Vimes doesn’t get angry—instead offering to help plan the event, the other Guild members remember what a seemingly cooperative Vimes is capable of, and swiftly withdraw any support.

Summary
For a moment- a treacherous, subconscious moment, wholly outside his control- he imagines hands he recognises reaching towards him. The promise implicit: believe, and you shall be cured of your pain. For blind faith and complete obedience, I will make you the perfect subject, healthy and hale and useful.
A woman claims to have visions of a King, and to, through him, heal the sick. Vetinari is neither a king nor healed. This is a problem.
