The Unseen Doctor

'[...] I want to witness a game of football'

'Witness? Look, I never saw nuffing'-'

Ridcully sighed. 'I mean I want to watch a game, okay? Today, if possible.'

'You? Are you sure? It's your funeral, mister. Got a shilling?'

There was a clink, high above.

'The tin will come back down with a sixpence in it. Time and place, please.'

''ow do I know I can trust you?' said the urchin.

'I don't know' said Ridcully. 'The subtle workings of the brain are a mystery to me, too. But I'm glad that is your belief.'

Is it me, or does Mustrum Ridcully suddenly talk like Dr. House?
