The Vimes family enjoys a rare evening when they’re all at home, staying up late and chatting by a warm fire. A question from Sybil prompts Vimes to try and imagine what his life might have been like if had met Nick rather than Sybil back during that dragon affair, and how very different things might have been. Of course, with Nick and Sybil there to give their own inputs, the story doesn’t always quite turn out how any of them expect it.

Valentine decides that even along this timeline, he just might have let Vimes talk him into joining the Night Watch after that business with the dragon, and Vimes begins to tell Valentine about the events surrounding the Gonne. This would go a lot easier if Valentine didn’t keep blaming the whole business on very unlikely suspects!
