Rincewind abandons Twoflower

This is why I don't like Rincewind, and never have.

On pg 30:

"But what would happen to TWoflower, all alone in a city where even the cockroaches had an unerring instinct for gold? A man would have to be a real heel to leave him."

And he does.

The Patrician is actually one of my favorite characters, but the Patrician in The Colour of Magic is not the Patrician, even though in interviews Pratchett has said that it is. Well - he's wrong!

"The Patrician cradled his chins in a beringed hand, and regarded the wizard with eyes as small and hard as beads."

In other words, this Patrician is fat, and that is not the Patrician of Guards! Guards! and so on.
