[…] you store the Diamond in a heavy-duty safe in your cellar […] The safe swings open. A flood of gold washes over you […] The stolen light of the Mountain – yours, all yours! […] You bask in its light for a long time. Contented. […]

Description summary:
Mr Fires warned you not to spend too long with your diamond, but its light is invigorating. The last paragraph varies based on The Airs of London. Wiki note: Numbers unaccounted for: 1 – 3, 18 – 21, 39, 58 – 59, 66 – 69, 80 – 81, 85, 87 – 89, 98 – 100

Airs	Last Paragraph
4 - 17	You learn of a juicy scandal, exciting the city's gossips: Apparently a junior footman has eloped with the mistress of his house! By all accounts their love was sudden and all-consuming, although they scarcely knew one another.
22 - 38	A report in the Gazette: shadowy figures have been spotted digging up the streets at night, doing something to the pipes. The next day they print a hasty retraction.
40 - 57	Mr Fires, in ebullient mood, has granted all its workers a day's paid holiday. Such a thing is utterly unprecedented. Some speculate that the Master might have gone mad, or is perhaps on its deathbed, or was perhaps visited by reformatory ghosts.
60 - 65	You accidentally left your Diamond in one place for a little too long. All the lesser items of jewellery in your Lodgings have hatched; gleaming beetles burrow into the walls.
70 - 79	[…] constables, still investigating Hephaesta's disappearance from Mrs Plenty's Carnival, have implored citizens to stop […] report dreams of "a muscular woman wandering along a smoking shore." Dreams, […], are unlikely to hold up in court.
82 - 84	You attend an opera, not realising that Clarabelle was playing a minor role. Her singing was beautiful and devastating and a highlight of the show - until she spotted you in the audience, and faltered for a moment.
86	Gazing in the mirror one morning, you find that you are burning with a cold inner light from within the nostrils and beneath the fingernails. Perhaps you should more carefully ration the time you spend with the Diamond.
90-94	The city is fevered. You hear that unlikely romances are sparking in the strangest of places, fuelling giddy gossip. A postman and a deacon. A circus clown and an ambassador. A trio of soldiers. The Gazette deplores a general loosening of morals.
95 - 97	The Gazette reports that a group of workers from one of Mr Fires' workshops have been sent to the Royal Bethlehem after apparently falling madly in love with a length of chain.
