"I will sue the University! I will sue the University!" screamed Greenyham. He picked up a chair and hurled it at the omniscope. Halfway to the glass it turned into a small flock of doves, which panicked and soared up to the roof.
"Oh, please sue the University!" Ridcully bellowed. "We've got a pond full of people who tried to sue the University—"
"Silence," said Vetinari.
It wasn’t a very loud word, but it had an effect rather like that of a drop of black ink in a glass of clear water. The word spread out in coils and tendrils, getting everywhere. It strangled the noise.

"I will have silence," Vetinari stated.
Stowley stopped, looked around and deflated. Silence ruled.
"Very good," said Vetinari quietly. He nodded at Commander Vimes of the Watch, who whispered to another watchman, who pushed his way though the crowd and towards the door.
