Clay Men don't have the same kind of convoluted social structures as people. You need to help him understand what he's dealing with.

Success

"So the aristocracy own everything, but they don't work for it?"

You draw charts and explain about power, wealth and influence. The history of the class system is striking sparks within Lyme, and he's asking a lot of astute questions. Some awkward ones, too, especially about the Masters of the Bazaar.


Failure

"So an earl is less important than a viscount and more than a duchess?"

No, no. Lyme is keen to get to the bottom of the class system, but its intricacies are hard to grasp. He's not quite fit to take tea with the Duchess yet.
