Or il advint qu'Om, le grand dieu, prit la parole en ce temps-la et s'adressa en ces termes a Frangin, l'Elu : " Psst ! " Frangin s'arreta au milieu d'un coup de binette et fit du regard le tour du jardin du temple." Pardon ? " lança-t-il. C'etait une belle journee du printemps prime. Les moulins a priere tournaient joyeusement dans le vent qui tombait des montagnes. En altitude, un aigle solitaire decrivait des cercles. Frangin haussa les epaules et retourna a ses melons. Le grand dieu Om s'adressa derechef a Frangin, l'Elu : " T'es sourd, mon gars ? ".

THE SHOW MUST GO ON, AS MURDER, MUSIC AND MAYHEM RUN RIOT IN THE NIGHT... The Opera House, Ankh-Morpork...a huge, rambling building, where innocent young sopranos are lured to their destiny by a strangely-familiar evil mastermind in a hideously-deformed evening dress... At least, he hopes so. But Granny Weatherwax, Discworld's most famous witch, is in the audience. And she doesn't hold with that sort of thing. So there's going to be trouble (but nevertheless a good evening's entertainment with murders you can really hum…)
