The Folk are more comprehensible, but only just. Humans can learn their ways, but never be sure of them.
My epithet—not my Name, my Name destroys always—will bring you safe passage at the Chapel of Lights and Mutton Island. They will act friendly even without it, but with it they will not be acting. Hard to tell the difference, since they act very friendly, but it’s rather important.
The Bazaar said so long ago, when it had high hopes still. Now it mostly cries or sulks, for it knows something of how wrong it was. Not like I know, none of them know like I do, but it has an inkling. *He turns a bit more towards Alice.* I suppose you have some skill in translating ranting into good English? You are apt to need it if you visit, I have a terrible tendency for ranting and raving. So do a lot of my people, and quite a few Neathdwellers generally. Especially scholars of the Correspondence, since it tends to light them on fire. Hatters are also worse than average, even for Victorian hatters, since a lot of Neath hats bite.
