|Value 4 = ''Perhaps it is better to go that way than through the Hills,'' she writes. ''If not truly safe.'' Then she sketches the diagram for torching the earth ahead of those who pass through.
|Value 5 = April gives her consent, and some suggestions about the best forms of explosive to apply to those hills.
|Value 7 = April looks keen. Possibly she mostly wants the excuse to build this construction and see whether it falls down.
|Value 9 = April assents to the proposal. The lack of hills to blow up seems to disappoint her, though.
|Value 10 - 11, 13, 17 - 20, 32, 33, 35 = ''Better out than in'', she writes. Is there anyone on this board whose company she enjoys?
|Value 12 = ''Yes'', she writes. ''We can dispense with the input of our august colleague.''
|Value 14 = ''His pride in his lance is unjustified,'' April writes. Evidently that's reason enough to rid the board of him.
|Value 15 = ''Her affiliations with Hell are complex,'' April writes. ''Are you certain you know why she wants the Railway built? I think we're better without her.''
|Value 16 = ''The business of the board may distract her from other duties,'' writes April. It's not that she wants Ancona gone; it's that she thinks Ancona has better uses for her time than arguing with this lot.
|Value 20 = ''Yes,'' she writes, on a square of paper. She has the abstracted look of someone who has been mentally building a bomb during the more tedious portions of the foregoing argument.
|Value 21 = ''The Widow presents certain challenges of public relations,'' April writes. Public relations. This from a woman who cannot be seen outside and who is generally believed dead.
|Value 23 = ''The boy is too young for these dangers,'' she writes rapidly. ''Take him out before something eats him alive.''
|Value 24 = ''A good colleague,'' writes April. ''Not very concise on the board, however.''
|Value 26 = Rather than writing out a response, April sketches a cat being chased from the boardroom by a very large mastiff.
|Value 27 = ''It doesn't have much counsel for us,'' April writes. ''Or else you never trouble to translate its advice.'' Not very courteous, but not wrong.
|Value 28 = ''Older than he was,'' April writes. ''But still not a person of enough standing for this company.'' Standing, is it?
|Value 29 = ''Get rid of him,'' April writes. ''He's got twelve plans and he keeps half of them secret from himself. And then there's the Discordance business, which you don't want to bring in here or anywhere.''
|Value 30 = ''If we do not find enough value in her wisdom,'' writes April. A grudging acceptance, but an acceptance.
|Value 31 = ''Aye, good riddance to the Palace,'' writes April.
|Value 37 = ''Bit fierce in all the wrong ways,'' April writes.
|Value 100, 120 - 150, 170 = ''It will do'', April writes. ''Not very fortified, however.''
|Value 105, 115 = ''Good plan,'' writes April, with several underlines.
|Value 160 = April seems disappointed there won't be a mountain to blast through this time around. But she writes: ''Aye.''
|Value 181 = April thinks for a long time, then writes: ''Proximity to London double-edged sword. Advantages seem to outweigh risks.''
|Value 182, 183, 187 = April thinks for a long time, then writes: ''Seems acceptable.''
|Value 184 = April thinks for a long time, then writes: ''Interesting choice. Affords certain opportunities. Will go along with it.''
|Value 185 = April thinks for a long time, then writes: ''Unfond of churches. But locale otherwise acceptable.''
|Value 200 = ''It will do'', April writes. ''Though we could do better.'' She quickly sketches a far more fearsome train, covered with overlapping metal plates like an armadillo, and sporting... are those torpedos?
|Value 205 = ''Some improvements,'' April suggests, quickly drawing an outline for a more capacious baggage car, and better-concealed compartments therein.
|Value 220 = ''Well-earned,'' writes April tersely.
|Value 230 = ''They would be better owners than a set of lords and Masters,'' writes April.
|Value 240 = ''I sympathise with the objectives of the Union,'' April writes. ''But we cannot spare them much more time.''
|Value 250 = ''I know it will amuse you'', April writes. ''I see no harm.''
|Value 260 = ''Bones,'' writes April. ''No great rarity there.''
|Value 270 = ''Likely to be safer than going through'', writes April. ''And less likely to cause undesirable Ministry attention.''
|Value 280 = ''Only dangerous if done by someone who doesn't know what they're doing'', writes April. A vote of confidence from the person who gave you your biggest practical introduction to the Red Science?
|Value 300, 310 = ''It's not why I am here,'' she writes. ''But we can pretend.''
|Value 400 = ''Certainly there are places where those funds could be spent,'' April observes. Looking for more components, is she?
|Value 500 = ''Bold,'' April writes on a sheet of paper. ''But I know my colleague can manage such an operation.'' It's as close as she's ever come to referring to your past exploits in front of the rest of the Board.
|Value 510 = ''Recommend you get permission to kill some of the Hellworms in the course of work'', writes April. ''Might die anyhow. If they don't, dissection would be enlightening.''
|Value 520, 521, 523, 525 - 529 = ''There are better ways,'' she writes pointedly. ''But since my plan was not chosen for consideration, this one will likely work adequately.'' Is it possible for handwriting to be sarcastic? She's drawn serifs on all the letters.
|Value 600 = ''Very well,'' writes April on a scrap of paper. ''Have doubts about all the candidates but some are worse than others.''
|Value 610 = ''Will probably be sorry for agreeing tomorrow,'' April writes. ''But I accept the argument.''
|Value 620 = April writes: ''She's not a Revolutionary precisely, but she isn't a friend of the Masters either.''
|Value 700 = ''Very well,'' writes April, in what her most bored penmanship.
|Value 710 = ''He has promising alliances,'' April writes. It seems she approves.
|Value 720, 800, 850 = ''If we must put in someone,'' writes April, without enthusiasm.
|Value 905 = ''Better occupied than bored here,'' writes April, sullenly.
|Value 910 = ''Bishops belong in churches,'' writes April, without evident enthusiasm.
|Value 932 = She agrees, though not without sketching several suggested amendments to the plan. ''With the current skeleton, it will have chronic back trouble. Reinforcements suggested.''
|Value 1000, 1010, 1030 = ''Very well,'' writes April. ''But get all the terms and conditions in writing, and keep a demolitions crew nearby.''
|Value 1100, 1110 = April has drawn a diagram of your train in battle. She has used a great deal of red.
|Value 1200 = April writes: No reason to think it will explode.

|Value 4 = ''Dangerous grassland,'' she writes. ''The grass drinks. Do not let it drink your own.''
|Value 5 = She frowns. It can't be the prospect of explosions that concerns her, surely.
|Value 7 = April looks surprisingly doubtful, considering the design was her own.
|Value 10 - 15 = ''Worth keeping on the board,'' April writes. ''Sometimes useful insights, sometimes forewarning of how wrong-thinking people would react to our actions.''
|Value 16 = ''Furnace cannot be replaced,'' April writes. ''She is an ally against Mr Fires, and without her we will lay no track.''
|Value 17 - 19, 26, 32, 33, 35, 37 = ''Worth keeping on the board,'' April writes.
|Value 20 = ''Keep your friends close,'' April writes. Yes. The Tentacled Entrepreneur is the sort she'd want to keep an eye on – perhaps not in the category of friend.
|Value 21 = ''Enjoy having her on the board,'' April says. ''Unique perspective.''
|Value 23 = ''Let the boy stay,'' she writes. The Wandering Gondolier would no doubt be indignant.
|Value 24 = ''Worth keeping on the board,'' April writes. ''Only complaint is that it's hard for him to come to meetings all the way from Balmoral.''
|Value 28 = ''Let the boy stay,'' she writes. The Hell-Scarred Gondolier would no doubt be indignant.
|Value 29 = ''Keep him around,'' April writes. ''Easier to see what he's doing if he's here, and he's less likely to take a grudge against us. Not the kind of person you can trust and not the kind you want for an enemy.''
|Value 30 = ''Very likely to find it a horrible injustice if we did,'' April writes.
|Value 31 = ''He's harmless'' April writes. This is a no vote, but not a compliment, coming from her.
|Value 100, 170 = ''Bad structure,'' April writes. ''Too dangerous that far out in the Neath.''
|Value 105, 115 - 150 = ''Good idea, badly executed,'' April writes. It seems the building does not meet her expectations.
|Value 160 = April writes: ''Dangerous route. Unwise destination.''
|Value 181 = ''Too close to London,'' writes April. ''Cannot guarantee independence. If so, what is the point of this whole experiment?''
|Value 182 = April writes: ''Set the Union up as next-door neighbours to the police? No. Come back with a serious proposal.''
|Value 183 - 185, 187 = ''Site not ideal,'' writes April. ''Should consider alternatives.''
|Value 200 = ''Unimaginative weaponry, not fit for purpose'', writes April. ''And the Tracklayers won't like it.''
|Value 205 = ''To carry the gowns of Society matrons on vacation?'' asks April, in writing. It's plain she doesn't consider this a primary concern.
|Value 210 = April doesn't bother with a full written argument and merely draws a satirical picture of a woman in a large bustle sitting with a parasol aboard the train.
|Value 220 = April passes you a slip of paper with a quick calculation of the expenses to continue building the train as against current and future ticket sales. It makes a compelling if not entirely desirable point.
|Value 230 = ''I think not,'' writes April firmly. ''Better ways to arrange the compensation.''
|Value 240 - 260 = ''Definitely not,'' writes April firmly. ''Unforgivable.''
|Value 270 = ''Definitely not'', April writes.
|Value 280 = ''Not wise'', April writes. ''Highly dangerous methods required to achieve that block in the first place. Won't be easy to undo, and the people that did it will not approve.''
|Value 300 - 320 = ''Principle might be fair. Not convinced this Board will actually agree on any one purpose, though. Too many differences.''
|Value 400, 932, 934 = April writes: ''Accounts don't balance.'' No more than that, but she's probably correct.
|Value 500 = April writes: ''Parabola is never safe. At best, an acceptable risk. Likely not acceptable in this case.''
|Value 510 = April writes: ''Very dangerous animals. Hard to handle and possibly dangerous to the workers.''
|Value 520, 521, 523, 525, 526, 528, 529 = ''Not the best way to do it,'' she writes. ''As I knew when I suggested a different approach.''

|Value 710 = ''Too interested in words, not enough in deeds,'' writes April.
|Value 720, 850 = ''An eccentric choice,'' writes April.
|Value 800 = April's face puckers with rage and she begins to write her reply. And write. And write. You don't need to see it to guess the gist: she doesn't trust anyone who looks like they might be in the pocket of Mr Fires.
|Value 905 = ''We shouldn't encourage divided loyalties,'' April writes, hypocritically.
|Value 932 = ''Unwise,'' writes April, on a sheet of paper. ''May not have considered all drawbacks.''
