Root[]

  • [0] It is said that the lakes at the top of Regent's Tears have curative properties. This rumour goes largely unconfirmed – the ground by the lakes is too boggy to land a locomotive.\n\nInstead, you must land on a sharp, slippery ledge lower down the falls. The walk up will be punishing.
  • [1] The view from the top of the Tears is dizzying. The forest is so large and you are so high that all perspective is lost. Only your locomotive, small as a match box, breaks the illusion of a mossy meadow inches from your feet. \n\nYou step back from drop and turn to the lake. It is huge – you cannot make out any details of its far shore. Steam rises sluggishly from the surface: the water is warm!"

  • [0] A young couple, sitting an improperly scant three feet, apart are immersed in the water."
  • [1] A young couple, sitting an improperly scant three feet apart, are immersed in the water.
  • [7] An old man sits in the water, leaning up against a rock. He gives you a nod in greeting.
  • [14] A youth gives you a fleeting smile. He seems welcoming enough, and there's plenty of room in the shallows.
  • [21] A man is supporting his son in the water, keeping him afloat. The boy kicks and splashes you, then giggles.
  • [28] Several young Londoners sit quietly on the bank, resting their feet in the steaming water.

  • [0] To be heard over the sound of the falls you must sit equally close. \nThe couple welcome you warmly, and all too easily slip into discussion of the family they hope for. Their accents reveal a scandalous class disparity – no wonder they are coy about their identities.

  • [7] The gruff gentleman with the complexion of a boiled ham frowns through the steam. He bellows an enquiry as to your health. He is here to ease the excruciations inflicted by his joints. The words he uses to describe the climb to the pool are rarely heard out of engine boiler rooms.
  • [14] To be heard over the sound of the falls, you move close to the youth. He has been weeping. He is frank as to the cause of his sorrow – the Winchester War. He speaks of his constant fortune – to survive skirmishes that have slaughtered his friends. \"Fortune!\" he repeats sourly.
  • [21] It is clear why the man has to support his son. The left foot of the boy is entirely glass; it twinkles beautifully as he kicks and squirms. The weight would pull him under, were he left alone.
  • [28] They are a group of infamous hell-raisers, known from old London clubs, and never out of the gossip pages of the lower brow broadsheets group. Yet here they are, calm as still waters. \n\nOne acknowledges your recognition with a rueful smile. \"We came here for a lark. But it it all seems pointless, now.\"
