that drumknott feel when you serve as like, a good 80% of the patrician’s impulse control, but you’re too polite and self-effacing to stop him when he pitches you ideas like “i’m going to sell sam vimes he’s arresting and ask him to handcuff me in public” and “you see this con man? i’m going to give him all the offices in the city” and “this dog, the bank chairman? we’re going to kidnap him and he’s going to be ours, and no one will argue because i’m the patrician”
