![]() The head of the Assassins’ Guild arrives: The Patrician has had a change of heart and arranged for Twoflower to be removed. The head of the Thieves’ Guild waits for Rincewind to arrive with the Luggage and Twoflower’s gold. ![]() Fearing the Patrician’s ire, Rincewind considers fleeing the city, but Twoflower’s sentient Luggage stops him, so he tracks Twoflower back to the inn instead.Īt the inn, Twoflower sells the innkeeper an insurance policy. While Rincewind is distracted by Twoflower’s “camera” (a box containing an imp who paints pictures), Twoflower is snatched by the Thieves’ Guild. Rincewind spends the rest of the day escorting Twoflower around the city. Rincewind tries to slip out of the city with his advance payment, but he is stopped by the Patrician, who sends him back to make sure Twoflower survives to return to the Agatean Empire. Outside of the Empire, Twoflower is fabulously wealthy, but he is too innocent to recognize how much danger he is in in the criminal town of Ankh-Morpork. Rincewind is not a very good wizard, but he can recognize priceless sentient pearwood when he sees Twoflower’s magical Luggage. In Part 1, “The Color of Magic,” the wizard Rincewind first meets Twoflower, an insurance adjuster from the Agatean Empire, when the little man strolls into an inn by the waterfront. The story is structured as four novelettes, loosely interlinked and progressing toward the conclusion. ![]() Page numbers are from the e-book (HarperCollins e-books Reissue edition, October 13, 2009). ![]()
