A jovial visitor
The parlour's lamps are low, the curtains drawn. There is a figure in the room with you. […]
The Merry Gentleman gives no reason for his appearance […] "Like a candle to folly's flame," he says to no one in particular. Is that how the saying goes? […]Description summary:
The last paragraph changes during the various Festivals throughout the year.
| Current Festival | Last paragraph |
|---|---|
 London's Season: Christmas | The Merry Gentleman is busy making a list as you leave. It is a list of dreams he means to visit upon people this Yule season. In some cases as charity, in lieu of the disappointments of the day. For others, it is a decidedly uncharitable pursuit. |
 London's Season: The Feast of the Exceptional Rose | The Merry Gentleman has a parting piece of advice. "Always look to love in the unexpected. And when you find it, seize it with both hands. It is not true ardour unless your knuckles whiten." |
 London's Season: Whitsun | As you make your exit, the Merry Gentleman gives a wry nod as he takes out a large Scarlet Egg and eats it whole. |
 London's Season: Hallowmas | The Merry Gentleman is sanguine about the season […] "One wonders how the other cities might have coped had they invented such a rite. Of course, prolonged longevity has its downsides. Though, I, of course, invite no comment on the subject." |
