Success

Encouragingly indiscreet servants

A merry rake is in prison for debt. A society darling is rumoured to have posed for a candid portrait. A married lady has been receiving love letters from a zee-captain. The evening passes in pleasant and occasionally valuable gossip.

Alternative Success

A sudden hush

The cook doesn't quite admit to having pored through the documents […] in the safe […], but their contributions […] have the brutal ring of uncomfortable facts […]. The Lady's husband — […] in fact the whole of polite society — would be quite unsettled if they knew that.

Failure

A quiet evening below stairs.

The conversation is friendly and they brew a decent cup of what might be tea. They speak of the shroom-hopping results, the price of good rat-meat and what the Rubbery Men are really up to. No indiscretions at all, d--n them.
