Mustrum Ridcully, Archchancellor, wore a
special wizard hat with small cupboards,
telescopic legs and oiled silk in the brim
Becoming a small tent, a spirit stove, inner
pockets containing rations, liquor in the
unscrewed tip for emergencies
With this James Bond from Unseen
University I would love to see the world
nothing would ever find him unprepared
The only gadget I rebel against is the
mouse in the treadmill on his head, the
mixture of honey and manure he rubs
On his bald spots – on second thought,
this is one James Bond that had better
stay within the pages of a book…
Terry Pratchett “Lords and Ladies”
Victor Gollancz, 1992 p. 178
