Guards! Guards! Dragon Watching
Lady Ramkin sits on her roof to watch the dragon.
I’m finding when dealing with the anachronistic nature of the early Discworld’s Renaissance setting Lady Ramkin sticks out the most. I can’t imagine her in anything earlier than Regency. While everybody else is still dressed in the fifteenth, early sixteenth, century fashion, I can’t imagine her in anything but tweed. Besides her clothes, In this picture alone, let’s count the ways. The only kind of medieval folding chairs I’m aware of wouldn’t be practical for this outside setting. Her telescope is an even bigger anachronism and also a continuity issue. In Jingo the telescope is a recent invention of Leonard of Quirm, even though the Klatchians have had them for centuries. But Sybil’s rich. She may have ordered one.
Since it’s not actually in the picture, I’m not even going to start with her thermos.
