	Other people with musical inclinations of a similar name... the original '''Engelbert Humperdinck''' was an nineteenth century German composer of organ music, generally solemn masses ~~and~~ religious pieces. Considering that an essential feature of every vampire castle is a mighty organ (and if it's by [[Bergholt Stuttley Johnson\|B.S. Johnson]], it's a bonus) then this link surely must be noted here. He is best-known, however, for his 1893 "children's opera" ''{{wp\|Hänsel und Gretel (opera)\|Hänsel und Gretel}},'' which is echoed in Überwald in the death of [[Black Aliss]].		Other people with musical inclinations of a similar name... the original '''Engelbert Humperdinck''' was an nineteenth century German composer of organ music, generally solemn masses, religious pieces, even the occasional "secular cantata" and a few string quartets... Considering that an essential feature of every vampire castle is a mighty organ (and if it's by [[Bergholt Stuttley Johnson\|B.S. Johnson]], it's a bonus) then this link surely must be noted here. He is best-known, however, for his 1893 "children's opera" ''{{wp\|Hänsel und Gretel (opera)\|Hänsel und Gretel}},'' which is echoed in Überwald in the death of [[Black Aliss]]. (And known though less known, among musicians, for an influential 1897 melodrama, or play with recitation, called ''Königskinder''.)

	Then there was, and maybe still is, a sub-Tom Jones lounge singer who rose to prominence in the 1960's... at roughly the same time the final incarnation of the Yardbirds chose to take on a noble German name to give it one last shot at fame before packing it in (they chose to become ''Led Zeppelin'', much to the disgust of the von Zeppelin family, who took out injunctions), a then unknown crooner, Alan George Dorsey, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelbert_Humperdinck_%28singer%29] working the Northern club circuit, stumbled over the name ''Engelbert Humperdinck'', liked it, and assumed it for the stage. There must be something about German names: neither Led Zep nor Humperdinck looked back from that moment on... although the immediate aftermath of the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest must have been painful for him.

Joining the Watch as a lance- constable, she is initially teamed with Sgt. [[Angua von Überwald\|Angua]]. This does not go well. Werewolves hate Vampires, and worse, Angua suspects Sally of 'making eyes' at [[Carrot]]. Angua's suspicions are somewhat allayed when Sally tells her that Carrot's heart beats faster whenever he sees her (Angua). Her relationship with Angua is also improved slightly after an unintended joint investigation of the Anhk-Morpork dwarf mine leads to their crawling up through the many tiers of Ankh-Morpork's sub-basements and ending up in the beer cellar of the [[Pink PussyCat Club]].
