The last paragraph changes during the various Festivals throughout the year.

Current FestivalLast paragraph
London's Season: The Feast of the Exceptional RoseMr Pages interrogates the various visitors with many intimate and probing details on their love lives. It seems best to slip away when it produces its ivory pencil sharpener.
London's Season: HallowmasMr Pages is gone by the time you look back. It is considered poor form for the Masters to involve themselves in the rituals of Hallowmas. Of course, they may just want you to think that, to avoid the charge that they are rather poor at disguises.
