Finished reading "Going Postal" today.
Am now ridiculously in love with Havelock Vetinari.
But where was Wuffles?

Vetinari probably worked for many years on carefully designing his reputation. Aided by Lady Margolotta and his aunt whatshername, the Madam from "Night Watch", most likely.
In a way, Vetinari's like Granny, who also has that reputation which she carefully cultivates. I wonder whether Pratchett will ever grant us a glimpse into Vetinari's mind, too. That could turn out rather scary, though.
Vetinari is very Slytherin, indeed.

Part of the attraction of Vetinari is that we never quite do know what is going on in his mind; he's an enigma, and I'm not sure how well he'd survive losing that mystique. Then again, Pterry could probably make anything work.
