As Nanny Ogg would put it, when it’s teatime in Genua it’s Tuesday over here .

She was the most attractive young woman Magrat had ever seen - skin as brown as a nut, hair so blonde as to be almost white, a combination not totally unusual in such an easygoing city as Genua had once been.

Cooking anywhere outside Genua was just heating up things like bits of animals and birds and fish and vegetables until they went brown.

But I hear it passing through the city and I think: that’s what Genua ought to be.

She wasn’t the finest cook in Genua - no-one got near Mrs Gogol’s gumbo, people would almost come back from the dead for a taste of Mrs Gogol’s gumbo - but the comparison was as narrow as that between, say, diamonds and sapphires.

She was a close personal friend of Mrs Gogol and knew that shape is merely a matter of deeply-ingrained personal habit, and if you’re a resident of Genua around Samedi Nuit Mort you learn to trust your judgement rather more than you trust your senses.

On the Tump, the old castle mound across the river, the big tower, one end of the Grand Trunk that wound more than two thousand miles across the continent to Genua, glittered with semaphore.

I have bulked some of them out with copies of clerk Harold’s analysis of pig production in Genua, sir.

Before the semaphore, news from Genua took months to get here, now it takes less than a day.

Then Greenyham bribed a couple of the new men in the tower to call in a breakdown, and one of them rode like hell for the downstream tower and sen’ him the Genua market figures a good two hours before everyone else got them!

The Trunk has never been out of commission for longer than a week, a clacks message can get to Genua in a few hours and yet, Mr Lipwig, people think you can do this.
