Apart from Swires, however, the only gnome to have displayed these characteristics, Wee Mad Arthur, later turned out to be a Feegle anyway.
** Other gnomes are presented as being more diffident; another gnome named Swires appears in ''Literature/TheLightFantastic'' and his response to most threats is what you'd expect from someone six inches tall. The gnomes in "Theatre of Cruelty" and ''Literature/RaisingSteam'' are similar, avoiding humanity when possible and often being exploited when they can't, although the ones in ''Raising Steam'' are happy to be helpful if asked nicely. It might be that only the other kind dare to move to Ankh-Morpork voluntarily. They are also skilled [[Literature/TheElvesAndTheCobbler shoemakers]], apparently.
** Their very first appearance was for the sake of a pun, what Twoflower calls "reflected-sound-of-underground-spirits" when trying to explain the concept of insurance and other financial matters (echo-gnomics).
