Success
As if a lock would keep you out
They answer a call at the door; you answer a call of curiosity. You have time to read three pages of your mark's correspondence and be back in your seat before they return. You do not have time to lock the drawer again.
Shadowy is increasing…
You've gained 2 x Flash Lay's Progress
Suspicion is increasing… (+2 CP)
Failure
Timing is all
They answers a call at the door; you answer a call of curiosity. But the visitor is only a pamphleteer. Before you have time to do more than unlock the desk, your mark returns to the parlour with a tract on the perils of laudanum.
