| 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. |
