Description summary:
The last paragraph changes during the various Festivals throughout the year.

Current FestivalLast paragraph
London's Season: ChristmasThe 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 RoseThe 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."
