Granny Weatherwax Quote by Terry Pratchett

““A strange thing,’ she said. ‘They both wear this same badge. Two bears on a black and gold shield. Anyone know what that means?’ ‘It’s the badge of King Verence,’ said Magrat. ‘Who’s he?’ said Granny Weatherwax. ‘He rules this country,’ said Magrat. ‘Oh. That king,’ said Granny, as if the matter was hardly worth noting.””
