Success

A man of infernal character

Mr. Slowcake is fiction. [...] he is the invention of a cabal of devils. It takes all your skill [...], but you are convinced. The force behind Slowcake's Exceptionals is the Brass Embassy. Of course, this raises more questions than it answers.


Failure

A slippery character

Mr. Slowcake has no address. He makes no appearances. He is a member of no clubs and no academic societies. He does not deign to visit the offices of the book's writers or publishers. Perhaps he doesn't exist at all.
