 Scheme | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | When you have not yet finished the decryption, it looks as though the letter concerns the sale of a city to the Masters. […]
But as you read more closely […] It speaks unambiguously of London […] about restoring one to the face of the earth. |
| 2 | This letter speaks about alliances on the Surface, and treaties that could be reactivated if London were restored […]
'We must […] provide a refuge from sunlight... […] factories dug into the earth... workers who will not be able to leave […] |
| 3 | […] The writer has become more nervous […] Can all the Masters be relied on to support this plan? Are there adequate engineering works available […]? ('I envision a vast Steam Engine placed beneath London... but you may have a neater scheme...') |
| 4 | […] 'I would very much prefer some other arrangement for our communications,' […] The only bit of real information comes just at the end, when the writer demands 'how much longer it will take to resolve the outstanding debts of which you spoke.' |
| 5 | […] It is Fires. […] he has been hard at work trying to arrange payment in a form that the Creditor will not object to. […] the Hellbound Railway, which Fires regards as competition and a nuisance, […] he hopes somehow to turn to his advantage […] |
| 6 | The […] vivid depiction of unpleasant fates that might befall Furnace, the board of the GHR, […] and (oddly) Mr Spices, cannot help but make a strong impression […]
About London's eventual return to the Surface, it remains […] tellingly vague about essential details[…] |
