"Lady, that was the intention, wasn't it? Anyway, it's only stunned," said Vimes.
"I mean you can't let them kill it like this," said Lady Ramkin insistently. "Poor thing!"
"What do you want to do, then?" demanded Vimes, his temper unravelling. "Give it a strengthening dose of tar oil and a nice comfy basket in front of the stove?"
"It's butchery!'"
"Suits me fine!"
"But it's a dragon! It's just doing what a dragon does! It never would have come here if people had left it alone!"
