−
|Value 2 = 2
 
−
|Effect 2 = '''Something osseous'''
 
−
|Second effect 2 = A bone of no particular description, nestled in straw. Without knowing the provenance, its value is a mystery.
 
−
|Value 3 = 3
 
−
|Effect 3 = '''Something grisly'''
 
−
|Second effect 3 = Your zailors cringe as the lid comes off the box. The severed arm looks relatively fresh – is it a warning? A trophy?
 
−
|Value 4 = 4
 
−
|Effect 4 = '''Something powdery'''
 
−
|Second effect 4 = The crate is filled with small boxes full of fine, dry, silvery powder. Fascinating. Perhaps the Widow is branching out.
 
−
|Value 5 = 5
 
−
|Effect 5 = '''Something quiet'''
 
−
|Second effect 5 = Carefully packed in straw and wrapped in paper: a bottle. It seems empty at first, but shaking it reveals the soul nestled within, still as the becalmed zee.
 
−
|Value 6 = 6
 
−
|Effect 6 = '''Something ancient'''
 
−
|Second effect 6 = The crate contains a great deal of packing straw and a single envelope. Inside is a single echo; completely familiar to you, yet not at all like the coins and bills that circulate in London.
 
−
|Value 7 = 7
 
−
|Effect 7 = '''Something forged'''
 
−
|Second effect 7 = The crate contains a consignment of mundane crockery that's not worth holding on to. But nestled inside a teapot: a few sheaves of paper bearing familiar seals. The work of an expert forger, perhaps.
 
−
|Value 8 = 8
 
−
|Effect 8 = '''Something heavy'''
 
−
|Second effect 8 = This crate was packed end to end with books – mostly penny romances and old pamphlets. But a few seem unusual – is that a third edition of the ''Manual of Sub-subterranean Stratigraphy?'' My word.
 
−
|Value 9 = 9
 
−
|Effect 9 = '''Something brilliant'''
 
−
|Second effect 9 = The crate is packed with cheap tea, not worth holding on to. But buried in the dry, bitter leaves is a gemstone of unusual size.
 
−
|Value 10 = 10
 
−
|Effect 10 = '''Something sour'''
 
−
|Second effect 10 = The crate is packed full of brutally ugly porcelain figurines, the kind that even the greatest enthusiast of nostalgic crockery would sooner smash out of shame […] But there – hiding among the packing straw […] is a bottle with a horse's head stopper.
