Miss Hermione King, who is engaged to be married.
Mr. Harry, who lost a watch and put an ad in the paper, and then found it in his coat pocket.
Coffin Henry, whose name would be adapted to Harry if anyone wanted to be that friendly. (He's kind of a stealth Harry.)
Foul Ole Ron. I had at one time believed there was a Ron working in the livery stable, but that turned out to be a mistake by William, who smelled Gaspode and thought it was Foul Ole Ron.
Incidentally, the name William is also repeated - Willie Hobson.

I'll give you Lady Hermione, Harry King and Ronald Carney.
So it does seem more than coincidental that all three names are in the book. ...
PS Who are the other Hermiones, Harrys and Rons in The Truth?

Re: Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents Discussion Grou
I found this crazy publication about Brain-to-Brain interface in a device coupling two rat brains to solve problems... this reminded me so much of the rat king, I needed to log into this forum and to post it...
Simply crazy.

Hi Florian and welcome!
Interesting article and I see what you mean. It's the rats I feel sorry for though.
In case anyone wondered what a real Rat King looks like, there's a picture of one on this Wiki.

Re: Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents Discussion Grou
I appreciate deeply this book... Thank you, Sir Terry! This book has being first after long time when...
In short: : I've read it in bus and missed my station!... In fact, my surroundings disappeared and I heard voice of Old Rat Leader (when he was in rat-pit, alone with his mind against dog... )... Incredible!
In some parts it very funny story. I 've even read some text to my husband aloud (I was translating into Russian at the same time).
But I realy cried when Darktan was near his death... and when Maurice brought out Dangerouse Beans from fire, in spite of his own temporary 'stupidness'....
But final was ... as final of Sir Terry's book.
Real ( as a truth! ) and kind! :dance:

Re: Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents Discussion Grou
Penfold, me too :dance:
I wonder either I'm still a child, or a 'Maurice' is not such a children's book
Seriously:
'Deeply sense&feelings '- book, I mean...
Little rats who have suddenly got a human minds.
They like a child who's suddenly become adult very fast ... Sometimes it is so painful for soul...

Re: Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents Discussion Grou
I'm nearly fifty years old and still enjoy his books aimed at 'young adults'. I think it is because he doesn't patronize young people and treats them as being intelligent enough to handle the subject matters he writes about ("I Shall Wear Midnight", for example, is supposed to be categorized as a 'children's book' but it contains some seriously adult themes right from the beginning).

And I'm more than 50 and I love the book.
Maurice is almost an early draft of Moist von Lipwig. He enjoys accumulating wealth almost as a way of showing how clever he is. He's convinced himself that he's doing it to help the rats and therefore he's being clever and caring. But, at least at the start, it's more of a game to him.

Re: Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents Discussion Grou
Yes... but in the end he gave own life to Dangerous Beans without doubt...Because absolutely most of us have got a heart! Even the Cleverest of Cats
I've never read about Moist von Lipwig (only watched film 'Going Postal' ). It is in my future plans!
I read in English so slow... so far!
Penfold, honestly, sometimes I was slightly wondered when I read 'I shall wear midnight' or 'WinterSmith', too. 'Is THIS for children??? Realy, English children is older than the same age children in Russia ?!'
(But seriously I'm sure that 30...50...100 years ago children had were becoming older faster than today, in the whole world ).
