Summary
'What is the current tally, Commander?' asked the Patrician coolly.
'Casualties are coming close to four hundred, sir,' said Vimes. He hesitated. 'We won't know the full death count for some time.'
'Of course,' he said. 'The sinking of the SS Wincanton has become firmly a recovery mission by this hour,'—and now Lord Vetinari turned away from the window to face the two men —'Or else the Commander and I would still be at the scene. Isn't that so, Mr. Slip?'
Mr. Jack Slip, lead chairman of the Ankh-Morpork Steamship Company, was a smart man. That was after all how he had gotten to this point in his life. He nodded, said, 'Yes, my lord,' and said no more.
'I would like to discuss today's events, Mr. Slip,' said Lord Vetinari, 'and what your options are, moving forward.'

Summary
Esme Weatherwax sat up and stared at him. Vimes had thought Vetinari had a penetrating gaze, but it was like being stabbed with a toothpick in comparison to the look the woman was giving him.He’d never felt so naked with all his clothes on.
“Erm. I’m…” he started, hesitantly.
“I knows who you are, Mister Vimes.” The witch scowled. “I ain’t sure why you’re in my bedroom, mind.”
During a diplomatic visit to Lancre with Vetinari, Vimes gets dragged into solving a murder.
It turns out they do things differently in the country, and the local equivalents of the law aren't too thrilled to have a copper from the city interfering...
I wanted Vimes to meet Granny et al., so this is a case fic guest starring the witches.

Summary
In which Susan identifies "Where's My Cow" as a proto-talismanic anchor for Young Sam's continued health and existence, and tries very hard not to wonder what the Vimes' butler does on his day off. There may also be a lesson about the meaning of Hogswatch, but no one wants to talk about that.
