Vimes: Cheery, get me a cup of coffee. And you can drop the sugar bowl in it, right?
Cheery: Right you are sir.
***later, while Cheery is mixing Vimes’s coffee***
Angua: I thought Vimes liked a lot of sugar in his coffee
Cheery: Yah, he thinks one tablespoon is a lot these days
Angua: Vimes?! Really?
Cheery: Yes, I’ve been weaning him off slowly for years now. He hasn’t noticed. Just a tiny bit less each day.
Angua: Really.
Cheery: Yeah, I’m just, you know. Worried about his health.
Angua: How much is Lady Sybil paying you?
Cheery: Enough to keep me in lipstick, the stuff is bloody expensive, and don’t tell Vimes!
