There’s a scene where Granny Weatherwax is delivering a child, the mom & child are both having trouble and she has to choose to save one. Someone is with her (Magrat?) and says “shouldn’t you ask the husband?” Granny says something like “Who is he that I should hurt him so bad?”
Anyone know what book that’s from? Where it is?
Arrgh. I have that book, but I cannot remember the title… Perhaps someone else will post it while I rummage through my bookshelves…
Carpe Jugulum. (Check spelling.)
(No, not her.)
I knew it; I found it, but was beaten to the punch. The scene is early in the book, before the plot really gets going.
From this M.A. Thesis (Warning! PDF.) it’s from “Carpe Jugulum”, pages 24-25.
“What has he done to me, that I should hurt him so?”
Terry Pratchett has an amazing ability to pack so much emotion into so few words.
Thank you everyone. Thank you Gray Ghost for the exact quote. And** Lightnin’**
