|Value 4 = "I suppose..." […] "If you truly think it is best. I don't know as much about trains as canals." There is a dismissive sound from someone else on the board: not everyone considers the Gondolier old and wise enough to be part of your company.
|Value 5 = "I suppose..." he says, with grave doubt. "The Hills belong to other powers. It might be better to avoid those."
|Value 7 = "All right," he says, slowly. "You've all talked me around. Though I would rather we were exploring the Hurlers, I've heard things–"

"We'll get there later," says someone else, and a cold hush falls over the table.
|Value 100 = "Is it how they're built in Venice?" he asks turning his head sideways to look at the plans. He will obviously agree if you say yes.
|Value 181 - 187 = "I don't know much about city planning," frowns the Gondolier. "So I suppose I'll go along with it."
|Value 205 = The Gondolier has a surprising range of views on the transport of cargo, the application of tariffs, the proper training of carriers, and much else.
|Value 230 = "Is that allowed?" he asks, surprised. "It is not how the Guild would do it, but perhaps."
|Value 310, 400 = "Does any of that come to me? No, of course not; I haven't invested," says the Wandering Gondolier. "But the people who did should get their share, definitely."
|Value 500 = The Gondolier frowns. "No, run that past me again." He listens intently; his shoulders droop. "No, sorry. I'm sure you know what you're doing though!!" His expression is one of guileless trust.
|Value 510 = "Hellworms!" says the Wandering Gondolier. His face is alight. "I have heard of them. I never thought we would have a chance to command one ourselves. I will have to visit the team in the field."
|Value 520 - 523, 525, 526, 528, 529 = "I had another idea," he says. "But this one also works!" There is a faint undertone of hurt pride, though. He really did want to propose his solution this time.
|Value 700, 720 = "Do you think we could go to the installation?" ask the Gondolier.' eagerly. That sounds like an 'aye.'
|Value 710 = "September has spirit," says the Wandering Gondolier. "And ideas about what he wants to do with the place." He blushes faintly.
|Value 905, 910 = The Gondolier is very keen that his colleagues on the Board be happy and be able to pursue whatever outside interests that they may have. He would not dream of standing in their way.
|Value 932 = "Would we be able to get rides?" asks the Gondolier. "Could it be put on a boat and rowed down the canal so that everyone could see?"
|Value 940 - 941 = "How wonderful!" exclaims the Gondolier. "Surely this will help some of those Gondoliers put out of work by the Railway?"
|Value 1000 - 1020 = "This is just the kind of person – or thing, or being – that I hoped to see!" says the Gondolier. "And there are stories, you know, about the tribute that was paid when the canals were built."
|Value 1100, 1110 = The Gondolier nods his head eagerly. "We should take every opportunity to expand our horizons we can. Though – are the guns really necessary?" He flushes. "I'm sure you know best of course!"
|Value 1200 = The Gondolier is enthusiastic. It will make the city so much easier to visit, and he longs for that.

|Value 4 = "Won't it be bad for the workers?" he asks. "I have heard of those grasses."
|Value 5 = "Those hills are full of old tombs and the caves of highwaymen," says the Gondolier. "One often hears about them."
|Value 7 = "The canals don't go there," he says, and it's as though he isn't sure the place could truly exist on the map.
|Value 9 = The Wandering Gondolier scowls. "Nasty terrain that way. Have you thought about flooding it instead?"
|Value 10 - 21, 24, 26, 27, 29 - 33, 35, 37 = The Wandering Gondolier sighs. "Do we have to get rid of anybody? Everyone's so nice here. They've all been lovely to me."
|Value 22, 310 – 320, 340 = The Wandering Gondolier frowns. "I wouldn't have thought of that myself, and I'm not sure it's right."
|Value 100, 105, 115 - 160 = "It doesn't look very suitable," says the Wandering Gondolier unexpectedly. "The one that you built in Jericho Locks was much better. We should make sure we live up to the same standard."
|Value 181, 182, 184 - 187 = The Gondolier sighs. "I'm not so sure about this plan. Could you explain it again?"
|Value 200 = "Why do we need guns? We come in friendship and the spirit of enquiry." He blinks. "Don't we?"
|Value 205 = "We might find ourselves opposed to those who transport by water," he says dubiously. "There are established ways to bring things to the Docks already."
|Value 210 = The Gondolier doesn't understand the fuss. "As long as they get where they're going, what does it matter? They should be looking out of the windows anyway."
|Value 230 = The Wandering Gondolier says he thinks that there is not room for everyone to be at the top of a hierarchy. He makes some tortured analogy to a matter involving Doctore members of the Gondoliers, which no one but you is able to follow.
|Value 240 = The Gondolier asks, a little timidly, whether there's any value in making the Tracklayers angrier than they already are.
|Value 300 = "Statement? Ugh. This is a slippery slope," the Gondolier cautions, "The Guild has three hundred statutes last I looked. I should know – I broke most of them."
|Value 400 = "Oh don't ask me about the budget," the Gondolier says bored, "Isn't the point of it that we spend it on the railway?"
|Value 500 = The Gondolier frowns. "I don't know. I understand Hell. Shouldn't we focus on the railway that exists? Not the one that might."
|Value 510 = The Wandering Gondolier plainly ''wants'' to vote in favour. But he has frequently told to be more considered with his votes. "That... might be dangerous?" he says. A no vote, even if a regretful one.
|Value 520 - 523, 525, 526, 528, 529 = "I don't like it," he says, frowning. "There are old warnings in the lore of the gondoliers about straying too far in this part of the Neath, and we should consider them."
|Value 700, 720 = The Wandering Gondolier frowns. "It's a risk," he says. "There are people in that neighbourhood that might not care for it."
|Value 710 = "I like September," says the […] Gondolier – as though that were remotely pertinent to the conversation. "But he might not like being stuck there at Balmoral after all, if he doesn't have any choice about leaving, or... or that sort of thing."
|Value 800, 850 = The Gondolier scowls discouragingly.
|Value 905 = The Gondolier frowns. "I don't know. I don't think I could manage a second job on top of the Board work!" The Dean gives him a look that could curdle milk, which the Gondolier entirely fails to notice.
|Value 910 = The Gondolier frowns. "I don't know. I don't think I could manage a second job on top of the Board work!" The Bishop gives him a look that could sour cream.
|Value 931, 933 - 934, 940 - 941 = The Gondolier frowns. "Would it really work out the way we hope it would?"
|Value 932 = The Gondolier frowns. "They'll be making metal gondoliers next."
|Value 1000 - 1020 = "Tributes were paid when the canals were built," says the Wandering Gondolier. "But that was a long time ago. It's hard to tell from the histories how it worked out."
|Value 1100, 1110 = The Wandering Gondolier wrinkles his nose. "I think I might be a pacifist," he says, sounding out the word carefully.
|Value 1200 = The Gondolier frowns. "I thought the Tracklayers were trying to get away from London."
