Gosh. Does that mean that Verity's house is in danger of sinking into quicksand?
Considering that the Leaning Tower of Ankh has been there quite a while, maybe it should be renamed Slowsand.
ETA: Considering that quicksand is actually named for the "living" meaning of "quick", I now wonder whether Sir pTerry ever considered naming a troll Quicksand. He did create a Sea troll once.
