The description varies with
A Dream of London, Changed.
| Description | |
|---|---|
| 350 | […] Another argument has broken out […] The Overworked Commodore has taken his hat off, the better to shout.
His Amused Lordship laughs. [...] Sinning Jenny says something profoundly ungodly [...] […] one of the Starved prisoners […] can't hide their interest in the argument. |
| 360 | The argument continues. This particular Starved has shown themselves – after some considerable calibration – capable of intelligible speech. But, as the Commodore would have it, capable of speech does not mean deserving of speech. |
| 370 | The Starved prisoner raises their head. Their iris is deep blue, and glisters with stars. "Maig I shpeak now?" Their voice is strained, like their mouth is too small to hold it. |
| 450 | "We have more than a few astrologers [...]"
"Wouldn't these be lithologers, though?" [...] The Commodore cuts them off with a hand. "Signs? What signs did you see?" "Change. Great change – as we have seen in times past. The change of flooding and falling." |
