A member of the [[Canting Crew]] of [[Ankh-Morpork]]. He has no legs, and it is hinted that he may be deformed in other ways. It is stated that anyone looking at him for too long gets the distinct impression that they are upside-down. Because of his missing legs, his primary form of transportation is a four-wheeled cart. While Arnold is completely legless, he nevertheless does have a boot, which he holds on the end of a wooden pole. This is very handy for sticking in closing doors and hitting, sorry, kicking people with. Arnold's boot gives him a sizable advantage in bar fights, along with his lack of legs. In a free-for-all fight, a man with good teeth at groin height has it all his own way.

Arnold's primary begging technique is to grab people by the legs and ask, "Have you got change for a penny?", usually profiting from the inevitable confusion. (After all, look at all the potential [[currency|sub-divisions of a penny]], which would tax any mind)

Miss Treason was a very well respected [[witches magic|witch]]. Not '''liked''', but respected. She was a force of Justice in her local community, giving judgements in many local disputes. She was unable to keep apprentices long; this probably had something to do with her windows being grimy, her walls being black, and each corner being full of spider's webs, as well as using other people as a mirror by looking out of their eyes. She knew "[[Boffo (Concept)|the secret of Boffo]]", which was actually just her way of inspiring respect. As found out by her last apprentice, [[Tiffany Aching]], [[Boffo Novelty and Joke Shop|Boffo's]] was a joke shop in [[Ankh-Morpork]], where she bought a considerable amount of "traditional" witching equipment. She was the subject of a considerable number of rumours. It appears that she started most of them herself.

She wore a heavy iron clock on her belt, which went '''''clonk-clank''''' instead of tick-tock: She could tell the time by feeling the clock hands, though locals believed the clock was her replacement heart and she could not die as long as the clock kept going. She also owned a broomstick, with two smaller broomsticks stuck on the back like training wheels. She could also speak [[Pictsies#Dialect_and_language|Feegle]]. Miss Treason was known to be skilled at [[borrowing]], which allowed her to compensate for going blind at 60 and deaf at 75 by using the eyes and ears of various animals. She was noted to have used a jackdaw, mice, owls, and near her death two ravens that sat on her shoulders.

Her death occurred at age 111, though she gave it as 113, worrying the former sounded a bit too cutesy (not unlike {{wp|Bilbo_Baggins|a certain hobbit}}...)

==Annotation==
Miss Treason shares her daunting reputation and given name (as well as the latter's deliberately incongruous meaning) with certain mythological Roundworld {{wp|Erinyes|justiciars}} - though in Miss Treason's case, it is the reputation and not the meaning of the name that proves more artificial.
