Success

Dusting the study

Your disguise as the butler isn't perfect, but your maid friend assures you that servants are hardly ever noticed in the grand houses. [...] Once the maid reads the document, she allows you to keep it and hurries off to make a report.


Failure

"Your nuts, sir"

Your disguise as the butler is perfect. You stride around the great house as if you own the place. [...] By the time you slip away the document in question is no longer there.
