The Fifth Elephant/Tear Jerker

""Shouldn't be just you and me, out here in the cold.""
 * After.
 * This bit had me bawling,.


 * The scene where Vetinari is talking to Leonard about Lady Margolotta. It's not very long and quite oblique in some places, but then again this is Vetinari we're talking about here. It shows that Vetinari does have a heart after all.
 * 's Villainous Breakdown speech is absolutely heartbreaking once the Wham Line hits.


 * When, after Lady Sybil is  and everyone's safe again, Vimes is the last one to realize that she's very quietly crying - and, even then, can't do much about it because he's "designed by nature to be one of those men absolutely incapable of kissing his wife in public." And then later, when he comes to save her after she's been   and sees her coming down the stairs in their castle and just sort of stands there for a minute thinking about how much he loves her. And then, later, when he's the only one laughing at the dumb jokes she's making while they're trapped and seem like they're about to die. Basically, their whole relationship in this book is one big Tear Jerker - especially since we know the toll that his job has taken on it in other books.
