He and Lobsang head for Ankh-Morpork to stop Jeremy from building it. Lu-Tze knows of such a clock's side-effects, since he was sent, but failed, to prevent a previous clock from being built. Meanwhile, in a distant valley, a young apprentice of the History Monks, Lobsang Ludd, and his old teacher, Lu-Tze, called 'The Sweeper', hear that a glass clock is being built. Death sends his granddaughter Susan to stop them. Death discovers their plans, but is unable to act directly because of the Rules of the universe. By freezing time, the Auditors intend to eliminate the unpredictability that humans cause through their everyday actions. They do not reveal that this will imprison Time (the anthropomorphic personification) and thereby freeze time (the physical quantity) on the Discworld. The Auditors convince a young clock maker, Jeremy Clockson, in Ankh-Morpork to build a perfect glass clock.
