Success

A decent read

You arrange to borrow a couple of passable novels. Gothic of course, but people write little else these days. There must be something in the air. You also find a copy of Musings in Purple, which will keep you occupied for a while.

Rare Success

A long way from here

You get hold of a ship-captain's journal. It's two decades old, but she does a good job of describing the lush and forbidding coast of the Presbyterate.


Failure

Nothing that's any good

A spicy novel that's had all the good bits excised with a razor. A lengthy polemic against […] depravities of music-hall entertainment. A treatise about the Fall's effects on the price of carrots. You'd have more fun reading the steamer's name-plate.
