From Maskerade:
Two Witches, Nanny Ogg and Granny Esme Weatherwax, are trying to get a coach ride back to their home country of Lancre.
"Esme?" Said Nanny, after awhile.
"Yes?"
"There's a man and two horses peering at us around the corner." She raised her voice. "Come on, I know you're there! Seven o'clock, this coach is supposed to leave! Did you get the tickets, Esme?"
"Me?"
"Ah," said Nanny uncertainly. "So ... We haven't got eighty dollars for tickets, then?
"What've you got stuffed in you elastic?" said Granny as the coach advanced cautiously.
"Nothin' that is legal tender for travelin' purposes, I fear."
"Then ... No, we can't afford tickets." said Granny.
Nanny sighed. "Oh, well, I'll just have to use charm."
"It's going to be a long walk." said Granny.
The coach pulled up. Nanny looked up at the driver and smiled innocently. "Good morning, my good sir!"
He gave her a slightly frightened but mainly suspicious look. "Is it?"
"We are desirous of traveling to Lancre but we unfortunately find ourselves a bit embarrassed in the knicker department."
"You are?"
"But we are witches and could prob'ly pay for our travel by, e.g., curing any embarrassing little aliments you might have."
The Coachman frowned. "I ain't carrying you for nothing, old crone. And I haven't got any embarrassing little aliments."
Granny stepped forward.
"How many would you like?" she said. At another point in time, when they are attending an opera (Long Story)
And someone tapped Granny on her shoulder. "Madam, kindly remove your hat."
Nanny Ogg choked on her peppermint.
Granny Weatherwax turned to the red faced gentleman behind her. You do know what a woman in a pointy hat is, don't you?"
"Yes, madam, a woman in a pointy hat is sitting in front of me."
Granny gave him a stare. And then, to Nanny's surprise, she removed her hat.
.....Later...
"Glad to see you didn't loose your temper with that man went on about your hat." said Nanny.
"No point. He's going to be dead tomorrow."
"Oh dear, what of?"
"Run over by a cart, I think."
"Why didn't you tell him?"
"Could be wrong."
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”
