Mad Stoat

The village of Mad Stoat would probably be part of Lancre Town, were it not for the violent geography of the country. The horizontal separation is negligible, but in Lancre, horizon and horizontality are scarce, and the two villages are displaced vertically by enough mountain to discourage frivolous visits.

Mad Stoat is the site of the cottage of Lancre's third witch, once Goodie Whemper, then Magrat Garlick, and recently, Agnes Nitt.

Annotation
