It was a beguiling theory that had arisen in the minds of Wiglet, and Waddy, and yes, even in the not-overly-exercised mind of Fred Colon, and as far as Vimes could understand it, it went like this.

1. Supposing the area behind the barricades was bigger than the area in front of the barricades, right?
2. Like, sort of, it had more people in it and more of the city, if you follow me.
3. Then, correct me if I'm wrong, Sarge, but that'd mean in a manner of speaking we are now in front of the barricades, am I right?
4. Then, as it were, it's not like we're rebellin', is it? 'Cos there's more of us, so the majority can't rebel, it stands to reason.
5. So that makes us the good guys. Obviosly we've been the good guys all along, but now it'd be kind of official, right? Like, mathematical?
6. So, we thought we'd push on to Short Street and then we could nip down into Dimwell and up the other side of the river...
7. Are we going to get into trouble for this, Sarge?
8. You're looking at me in a funny way, Sarge.
9. Sorry, Sarge.
