Soft Glass: Difference between revisions

* Averted in [[Jack London]]'s ''[[White Fang]]''. The title dog breaks through a window to reunite with his master and is badly cut up along his stomach for it.

* [[Terry Pratchett]]'s ''[[Discworld]]''

** Also averted several times in ''Witches Abroad'', as Granny Weatherwax smashes several mirrors during the course of the story, and almost gets killed by a shower of broken glass. (The ever-patient Nanny Ogg patches her up, lamenting, "Oh, Esme, you do take winning hard.")

** In Maskerade a panicked lady clobbers Nanny Ogg with a ''full'' bottle of champagne to try and knock her out so as to make an escape. The bottle doesn't break, but the book takes this moment to point out that somewhere in the Ogg family tree is a bit of dwarf, meaning Nanny has a skull you could break rocks with, so all getting hit really does is stun her momentarily.
