Catching Ducks

From Yendi:



Vlad: I want you to try to find out something for me.

Kragar: Sure. What?

Vlad: Everything you can on the Sword of the Jhereg [a famous assassin].

Kragar: Is this a joke?

Vlad: Do you think it's likely to be?

Kragar: Fine. I'll get back to you in a hundred years or so. Vlad, how am I --

Vlad: She was once a Dragonlord; that should help. She was probably expelled.

Kragar: Wonderful. Should I try to bribe a Lyorn or a Dragon?

Vlad: The Lyorn would be safer, but the Dragon is more likely to help.

Kragar: I was being sarcastic.

Vlad: I know. I wasn't.
