Success

A stern taskmistress

She watches you with considerable suspicion as you go through your work. As a 'poet' you are as perilous and unclean as a serpent or a gin-bottle. But she acknowledges the quality of your rhymesmanship, thanks you politely and pays you well.


Failure

Disappointed, not angry

'I'm sorry, I don't consider these pagan allusions appropriate for a properly Christian city. Nor can I commend this 'water of life' business. Alcohol is both sin and death! […] 'satin' has never rhymed with 'pattern' in any English I speak.'
