She lives in Mincing Street.” “Sergeant,” said Carrot, staring into Angua’s face, “Lance-Constable Angua wants to know about Mrs. “Nobby got the coff - ” he began, and stopped. He was holding a very small cup in a pair of tongs. There was the creak of Colon’s foot on the stair, and the door swung open.
