'''Mrs. Goodbody''' is (or was originally) the proprietress of an unusual crafts shop at Number 8, [[Easy Street]] in [[Ankh-Morpork]]. She designs and produces a range of leather (and eelskin) goods cunningly weighted with lead shot or sand, as well as a style of very heavy, four-fingered rings and similar accessories for the law-enforcement community, the law-evasion community, and the man in the street who doesn't want to be found there in the morning.

Not as famous as the edged-weapons firm [[Burleigh & Stronginthearm]], Mrs. Goodbody is their counterpart and equal in blunt instruments<sup>(1)</sup>, the leader in mechanical anaesthesia technology. Commander [[Samuel Vimes]] regards her products highly, and recommends them (discreetly) to his more trusted [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch|Watchmen]]. He has used them himself on several occasions and values their silent effectiveness and their option of leaving the object alive for questioning.

It is not recorded whether [[Agony Aunts|Dotsie's]] handbag came from Mrs. Goodbody; possibly it was the inspiration instead. Neither have we met Mrs. Goodbody herself; we don't know if she remains alive.
