    He walked across the room to a stack of timber and thrust the scythe well out of the way behind the heap. There was a brief, punctured squeak.
    Anyway, it would be all right. He'd give Bill his farthing back in the morning.

    The Death of Rats materialised behind the heap in the forge, and trudged to the sad little heap of fur that had been a rat that got in the way of the scythe.
    Its ghost was standing beside it, looking apprehensive. It didn't seem very pleased to see him.
    'Squeak? Squeak?'
    SQUEAK. the Death of Rats explained.
    'Squeak?'
    SQUEAK, the Death of Rats confirmed.
    *[Preen whiskers] [twitch nose]?*
    The Death of Rats shook its head.
    SQUEAK.
    The rat was crestfallen. The Death of Rats laid a bony but not entirely unkind paw on its shoulder.
    SQUEAK.

    Tile rat nodded sadly. It had been a good life in the forge. Ned's housekeeping was almost non-existent, and he was probably the world champion absent-minded-leaver of unfinished sandwiches. It shrugged, and trooped after the small robed figure. It wasn't as if it had any choice.

    Reaper Man was the first I remember reading, and Death is onlt second to only one other character.

    This couldn't be more one-sided. The best DW novel versus... a witches book.

    Eaaaasy money...
