Success

A helpful vicar

The Acclaimed Beauty is reserved, as always, but he is much in demand [...]

The Barbed Wit keeps glancing at the Beauty. [...] But whenever she approaches, you are there. [...] His greeting is formal, but is that something in his glance?


Failure

Was that me?

How terribly clumsy of you! Of course, you had no idea that the Barbed Wit was standing behind your shoulder. Well, you did, but you didn't mean to send her sprawling over a gravestone.

A crowd gathers [...] The Acclaimed Beauty has gone. Damn.
