Moist learns that the post office has been superseded by semaphore towers known as "Clacks" which send messages using light signals which are faster than sending letters by post and owned by the unscrupulous Reacher Gilt. Moist immediately attempts to escape but is caught by his parole officer Mr Pump, a golem, and brought to the rundown post office where he meets his two staff: the elderly Junior Postman Tolliver Groat and his assistant, the pin-obsessed Stanley Howler. He gives Moist the choice to either become the new Postmaster or be executed by falling down a deep pit. He is brought before Patrician Havelock Vetinari who likens himself to an angel, offering Moist a change of life. After a brief spell in prison he is hanged by the neck, but not killed. Īfter years of undertaking confidence tricks, Moist von Lipwig is caught by the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, and is sentenced to death under his current alias, Albert Spangler.
