Description summary:
The description varies depending on 
Taking Notes....
| Taking Notes | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | A town home[…]. […]the downstairs bedrooms are locked. This is a home for a large family, but most of its occupants are now lodgers.
A woman greets you[…]. She doesn't have the look of a Palace servant – a washer-woman[…] She ushers you upstairs to a bedroom. |
| 1 | The Taciturn Maidservant has her hands on her lap. You note her fingernails are bitten to slivers on her fingers. She thanks you for coming, and hesitates. She's not sure how to begin. |
| 2 | The Taciturn Maidservant has come to the twist in her story. "Yesterday, something disappeared from the Princess' boudoir." |
| 3 | The Taciturn Maidservant's hands are a worry knot. "If the Princess realises the comb is missing, I'll be out on the street." It's obvious she's not worried about anything as mundane as her job. |
| 4 | You stand on the street outside the Taciturn Maidservant's home. A little roof-drip has fallen while you were inside, slicking the cobbles. The Honey-Addled Detective fills his pipe. |
