Honestly I can just imagine future Ankh-Morpork historians being so PUMPED when someone about a hundred years from now is going through the attics at Pseudopolis Yard and finds a box full of the letters between Captain Carrot and his parents, because Carrot kept every single one and his parents had the habit of replying to him on the back of his own letters, so they have years’ worth of both sides of the correspondences of an important historical figure –

– but then they curse him in the same breathe, because Carrot will go on for pages about the cutting of a specific mine shaft, but Disc-shattering political events will be mentioned in one sentence like ‘altso We wennt to Klartch and stop ped, the war and. I organised a foot-the-ball Match it was Very hot.’
