Success

A change in management

No thing has a single cause [...] The urchins who congregate in Spite claim that Mr Fires has not been seen [...] in quite some time. [...] The urchins are vehement: [...] "[I]t's the other 'un, pretending to be Mr Fires." [...] "The Master that's a little shorter" [...]

Mocked and taunted

You canvass the local urchin population. Today, however, they are in no mood for cooperation, and offer you only a panoply of insults that no child of ten or eleven years should know. Some things in London really don't change.
