Found another one!
Stumbled upon another goddamnit Terry moment while reading Unseen Academicals for the umpteenth time. Glenda and Juliet are taking the trolley (heh) bus to the University;
“You know, you should try to learn to speak better,” Glenda said, to change the topic. “With your looks you could snag a man who thinks about more than beer and footie. Just speak with a little more class, eh? You don’t have to sound like—
“**My fare, lady**?”
They looked up at the guard, who was holding his axe in a way that was very nearly not threatening…
Never caught this one before (had caught the troll-ey bus).
GNU Pterry, you magnificent bastard.
