Why, to you, of course!
 This quote comes from Smith of Wootton Major and is spoken by Nokes to Prentice. If he'd only known who Alf really was!

Oh, a proverb!
This is said by the gloomy Blacksmith (also known as "Sunny Sam"  ) when there was no news from Farmer Giles, after he had gone dragon-hunting with the knights.
