From: Ruining a Mutton Island courtship

Description summary:
The text varies with the level of your 
Mutton Island Courtship quality.
| Mutton Island Courtship | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 - The Custodial Chef and the Roaming Replete | The […] Replete is impervious to the dismal air of the lonely hillside and the dark well at its centre. But she is not impervious to the […] Chef's evident distress. However, […] it is clear from the inconsolable weeping that the afternoon must be called off. |
| 2 - The Custodial Chef and the Dashing Drownie | The Dashing Drownie's attempts to find the other end of the well from below and call up to the Chef through it are not taken well. It will be some hours before the Drownie can locate the Chef and convince him to try again. |
| 3 - The Custodial Chef and the Hooded Lady | The Custodial Chef and the Hooded Woman stand by the well, both gazing at it but saying nothing. Eventually, they walk away, and not together. |
| 4 - The Melancholy Curate and the Roaming Replete | The Curate's silent prayers are lost over the moaning that emanates deep within the well. Eventually, the Replete drags him away […] "In my home, we stay well away from inanimate objects that try and communicate to us with direful suggestions".[…] |
| 5 - The Melancholy Curate and the Dashing Drownie | […] the Dashing Drownie and the Melancholy Curate attempt to put a brave face on the afternoon. Unfortunately, […] the Curate asks one too many probing questions about the Fathomking's drowning feasts, and the Dashing Drownie leaves in high dudgeon. |
| 6 - The Melancholy Curate and the Hooded Lady | The Hooded Woman stares at the well in horror. Yet the Melancholy Curate offers to lead prayers; a litany of psalms spoken over Mutton Island. Despite her reluctance, […] [s]he sits by the well, eyes closed, and listens for what seems like hours. |
| 7 - Jervaise and the Roaming Replete | The Roaming Replete tries her best to lift Jervaise's spirits with stories of her own adventures after disobeying the Replete and fleeing north, but there is no recovering the afternoon once he has laid eyes upon the well. |
| 8 - Jervaise and the Dashing Drownie | The Dashing Drownie tries his best with songs of his own boastful exploits as a corsair, but there is no recovering the afternoon once Jervaise has laid eyes upon the well. |
| 9 - Jervaise and the Hooded Lady | Jervaise takes his wife's hand and leads her from the well, but not without first shooting you a glance of mild loathing. |

A wonderful day out
Despite the dismal air around the well, and the general sense of horror and loathing […] the pair […] have an infuriatingly marvellous time […] How do they […] enjoy a nice picnic sitting on the side of the […] thing? […] they ask you if you are feeling […] all right.
