And I do not think it is for the benefit of Mr Eaten. Every sign says that the Masters would rather put him behind them entirely, even going so far as trying to eradicate any trace of him from memories.

They would like him forgotten, but he is not going away anywhere really. Oh, oh. Maybe the Masters need fresh Lacre for the well from time to time.
For a time I thought that Mr.Eaten IS their employer. The Masters betrayed him and hijacked the Bazaar. And now they are using love stories to keep Mr.Eaten/Bazaar under control. But the Masters take comfort from the promise of "All manner of things shall be well". And if Mr.Eaten was the one who promised them that… they probably would not. Then again, the promise of accounting clashes with the promise of "All manner of things shall be well" unless that well is A well. Then again, Masters promise us in turn, that "All manner of things shall be well". And in our case it does seem to be a well, that all things will end up in. A very nice Lacre well indeed. So, poetic retribution for the Masters is in order?

Well well, that is a lot of wells. Confusion seems most apt, under the circumstances.
Still, I get the sense that Mr Eaten is an unaccounted for piece in the overall game the Masters are playing. The reckoning he seeks to bring seems like a personal vendetta, and his definition of "all manner of things being well" is probably quite different from the others’.
