Line 8:
* Very subtle example: when Gaspode tells Carrot that hunters in the next town have caught a wolf, and Carrot (who's been searching for Angua) says: "''Killed it?''". Seems innocuous enough ... until you realize that it's the ''only'' time Carrot has ''ever'' raised his voice out of sheer, unbridled emotion, not just to make sure someone can hear him. If Angua'd heard ''that'', she'd have no more doubts about how he feels.
* Vimes and Sybil, time and time again.
** For this troper, she had doubts about Vimes' real feelings, especially when all she read was ''Thud'' (where his love of his son was the focus, not the wife), ''Guards Guards'' and ''Men at Arms'', all where Vimes is rather distant towards Sybil. Then there's this book where he's still distant but obviously very, very in love. Just in his own grumpy way.
* 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.
* The scene in the embassy when Sam and Sybil are trying to sleep, and keep getting woken by Igor removing the animals, with them guessing the animal before going back to sleep. I found it very heartwarming when they both woke up, guessed "swordfish" at the same time, and then both went back to sleep. They're just so perfect for each other.
* Igor gets one towards the end of the book.
