Quote by Terry Pratchett
““Here, how did you get out of the castle?" said Granny. "The esteemed Nanny Ogg assisted me," said the king. "I reasoned, if I am anchored to the stones of Lancre, then I can also go where the stones go. I am afraid I indulged in a little trickery to arrange matters. Currently I am haunting her apron." "Not the first, either," said Granny, automatically.””
