William Glottal Carpetlayer is a coachman on the [[Lancre]]-[[Ankh-Morpork]] run. He cannot understand how the family name came about, as nobody in the Carpetlayer family has ever laid a carpet, ever, to his certain knowledge.

He suffers from [[jumping bones]], and a bone jumps at precisely the most inconvenient moment, when he is moving a delicate glass mirror ball costing $AM1,000, which until [[Tiffany Aching]] chose to land her broomstick on top of his moving coach, had been his sole cargo. In return for a free trip to the city, Tiffany cures his affliction and the Feegle, in a hitherto unknown bout of [[anticrime|antivandalism]] rebuild the mirror ball.

Carpetlayer now intends to take his wife dancing a lot.
