The second trance-dream is familiar when it comes. So is the scent of lemongrass, and the feeling of floating abruptly up and sideways...
Sleep comes.
[…]Description summary:
The third paragraph varies based on your Subject of a Trance-Dream. See the table below.
Subject of a Trance-Dream | Third Paragraph |
---|---|
11 - 13 | Sinning Jenny does not complain to you about the politics of London. […] But sometimes she does complain a great deal about inferior corsets and stockings that run after a single wearing despite Mr Wines' assurances. […] |
15 | In the parlour, Sinning Jenny is remonstrating with a union organiser: too much action, too quickly, will bring down the disapproval of Mr Fires, and then what? |
21 - 25 | The Cheery Man is telling you a story you've heard many times before: an exploit involving his daughter, whose troubles he can't seem to get out of his head. |
31 - 35 | The Gracious Widow is sitting by the window, drinking a cup of tea, and remembering, as she sometimes does, a past connection. She is, as always, unspecific about his identity. Is it her previous husband? A lover? |
51 - 55 | The Bishop is reading you a sermon. It is staunch against Devils and all their works. It has much to say regarding flame, and infernal heat, and the vile ease with which one may buy a railway ticket to Hell. |
101 - 105 | Mr Wines has gone to the opera again. You can tell; the music always leaves him a little drunk. Opera, specifically, makes him maudlin. |
