Talk:Eunice Proust

Something niggles me concerning Mrs Proust being the established city witch. When Granny Weatherwax was briefly resident in Ankh-Morpork, ostensibly to keep an Eye on Eskarina (Equal Rites), it was very explicitly stated that Ankh-Morpork had no witches. Granny's skills were therefore in high demand and she ended up making such a good living that she even considered sending home for her goats, replanting the Herbs, and making a go of it in the City. Mrs Whitlow certainly welcomed her with open arms and relied on her for readings and psychic input. Surely Mrs Proust is of an age to have been around at the same time, even allowing for the seventeen-year timeslip that saw Lancre leap 17 years forward in the space of a cockcrow.(Wyrd Sisters) She would have had opnions of a new witch moving in, and surely investigated?

Perhaps part of the general growth of A-M; previous administrations of the Winder/Snapcase sort would have seen them as a threat and the Wizards wouldn't have been very supportive. Mrs Proust still doesn't operate as a conventional Witch, she's a craftsperson and shopkeeper. Mrs Cake likewise bills herself only as a seer/clairvoyant, we suspect Witchcraft. I don't think any other Witches have been mentioned. Witchcraft doesn't seem to be a city thing: I have suggested in my own fanon that they're even scarcer in Quirm. --Old Dickens (talk) 23:45, 8 January 2013 (GMT)
